wow I completely must've looked over this thread. V8 and Steve have very excellent points Ben. there have always been rules of war and if someone doesn't follow it then you may have other's saying "hey if he got away with it then so can I" eventually a war would turn into utter chaos (as ironic as that sounds)
IMO what the soldier did was wrong and should be sentenced to a much longer term
man ROE used to be strict as hell too...i mean...standing in straight lines 4 rows deep with your enemy standing not 30 yards away from you. and firing volleys while you are looking down the barrel of your enemy.. of course rifles were highly inaccurate.....I guess as weaponary changes so do ROE:o
