From the clip I saw it looked like the Marine knowingly shot an unarmed, wounded enemy combatant.  As a former active duty Marine, I found the clip terribly disappointing.  

Sort of makes one miss the days when a gunny followed behind the troops and shot cowards.

It will be interesting to see how this case is handled by the military court system.

[:O] WHOLY WILLIKERS! Lead said something I agree with!

Yes the photgraphic evidance is fairly clear, sadly[V] This young Marine was scared of having hisself hurt by a "wounded" and booby trapped Insurgant so he shot him. This is most Deffenantly against the ROE We are given here, and he will pay the price. Do I blame him??? No I would prolly have felt (I would hope, not acted) the same way, the insurgants are useing our ROE and our "beliefs" against us, but we don't make things better by sinking to their level. What he did was wrong, and as such he shouldn't be placed back with his unit until after he is tried and either convicted or released, we have procedures and laws for a reason, and UCMJ will give him a fair and impartial trial by his peers.

What I do disagree with was the reporters release of the footage which has caused widespread anger towards the USA from the actions of a single marine. [V]

There's a reason that our own troops shot at reporters during Vietnam!

WTF?  Why are we allowing video in there anyway?  I'm not against embedding journalists, but they should only be armed with pencil and paper...

Yes, Ken.  It would appear that we are somewhat in agreement on this one.  Some peope seem to be under the mistaken impression that it is the job of the mop-up crew to kill unarmed wounded semi-conscious combatants.  In addition to being against our current rules of engagement, it is also against the rules of the Geneva Convention and considered to be an international war crime.

But of course, if we were concerned about the Geneva Convention, even our own Constitution, our current President and a large chunk of the Senate and House of Representatives would now be behind bars.  Heheh.

Barbarians at the gate?  Hell, they're steering our ship!
