Lt. Gen. James Mattis recently told Marines in Iraq's dangerous Anbar province to make contact and wave at civilians even if a fellow Marine has just been killed or injured.

Yeah, a one-finger wave.
This "battlefield ethics" crap makes me throw up in my mouth a little. If one Marine dies because he hesitated just long enough to wonder if he was being ethical, or to review his thirteen rules of engagement, scum like Petraeus, Mattis and Conway should hang.
