It is truly obscene that the execution of an injured soldier is used to
promote commercial products. I am totally disgusted.

What happened to the geneva convention? Let me remind all of you:

"Article 12. Members of the armed forces and other persons mentioned in
the following Article, who are wounded or sick, shall be respected and
protected in all circumstances.

They shall be treated humanely and cared for by the Party to the
conflict in whose power they may be, without any adverse distinction
founded on sex, race, nationality, religion, political opinions, or any
other similar criteria. Any attempts upon their lives, or violence to
their persons, shall be strictly prohibited; in particular, they shall
not be murdered or exterminated, subjected to torture or to biological
experiments; they shall not willfully be left without medical assistance
and care, nor shall conditions exposing them to contagion or infection
be created."

Remember a wounded man may not be able to put up his arms and surrender
-especially when he doesn't know where the enemy are!


MC, what was the pilot suppose to do with no ground support, let the
guy go so he could kill another day?

If I was in a apache helo and saw guys carrying rocket powered
gernades
I'd "Smoke them" to. I'd have ZERO tolerance.

I did not hear you say you were totally disgusted when the American
helo with the big red cross on the side was shot down last week. Shot
down with the exact type weapon the guys in the footage placed in the
field.

Must be something in the geneva convention about shooting down flying
ambulances right?
