You need to stop quoting me because you are not going to convince me. I really don't know what you are trying to do here, say your last words or something? sheesh
You are making a case that this wasn't murder, this is not a grey area.
This would be a better argument if he wasn’t already convicted in a court of law for being a cold-blooded murderer.
well, murder, that is it.
Cold blooded, grey area.
If he could prove the dead dude was linked to al Quida, he could have been a hero.
See how that works?
For your information, U.S. forces took Mansur into custody in 2008 shortly after a roadside bomb struck a convoy traveling north of Baghdad, killing two of Behenna’s friends and platoon members.
Like I posted many pages ago, the soldier could not prove he was a bomb maker, just like nobody could prove he was a cold blooded murder who killed innocent civilians just for the sake of it.
When I judge a soldier, I tend to look at his behavior pattern. How many years has he served? Did he have a criminal record prior to his military service? Is this a one time behavior, or he has the reputation of being trigger happy? ALL factors in before I make my own conclusion.

Murdering a prisoner who is an enemy combatant makes one a “hero”? That’s some interesting take on the Geneva Convention.

Well, you got me there.
Which is why I said "if he could prove.....", he could be a hero In battle field, there is a fine line between a hero and a villain . This is not a secret. A wise man used to tell me, both heroes and villains are fictional characters, depend on who is making the judgment call.
But to me personally, he is a hero. There you go, end of the discussion between you and I.

Killing an enemy combatant on the battlefield might make you a hero, but executing one in captivity certainly does not. Therein lies the difference.
