“Oh, it’s so much better to have that guy, the enemy, shoot your buddies, right? I’m sure Johnson would have no trouble at all explaining his “courageous” restraint to the family members back home.”
The Law of Armed Conflict and the Geneva Convention both require that those “hors de combat” (out of the fight, in this case due to injury) be treated humanely, which means that the triage process includes ALL wounded, not just the good guys. I know this will get hoots and catcalls, but we do it because it’s the right thing to do.
Flame away.

I know this will get hoots and catcalls...No, not from me, I understand it...but...(sighs heavily)...I just wish the enemy felt the same way and practiced the same thing.

I stand with you, jagusafr. Treat the wounded - regardless of ‘side’. However, *IF* I was a trauma surgeon, and had to chose who to work on, I can’t say I wouldn’t be tempted to work on MY guys first, regardless of the level of injury.
