I could never support execution without trial which this video is.

 

I'm quite the opposite, why waste time and money on a trial!

 

BTW slightly tongue in cheek comment before you shoot me down

Fair point but if you read about the shooting of troops who had already surrendered, would you support that? The firearm had already been discarded and the guy was attempting to surrender, plus the people sitting completely safe in the gunship shot a wounded, unarmed man!

Because the most basic observance of Human Rights demands it

I wouldn't pretend either way, nasty things happen in a war zone, some wrong some right, the only thing I do know is that we'll never know the full story!

Doesnt say if they had previous or not though mate, They may have been watching them for a while and decided that it was time to act, Who knows

While I agree with the comment about punishments being insufficient, I could never support execution without trial which this video is.

 

There are very clear and concise rules of engagement in Afghanistan, Apache pilots have to adhere to as much as anyone else. If the man hadnt gone back for the weapon they would not be allowed to open fire. Btw its a war-zone, people on both sides get hurt. The Taliban forces use tactics such as IED's, hardly "sporting" old chap, what what:001_smile:
