Military investigates shooting of wounded insurgent

Let's see, the situation was:

1. other terrorists had retaken the Mosque and had to be cleaned out again
2. many terrorists are suicide bombers
3. terrorists hide and disguise Improvised Explosive Devices
4. terrorists set up booby traps everywhere they can
5. terrorists booby trap their dead and wounded
6. terrorists fake surrendering then attack when our troops are drawn out to take the prisoners into custody
7. terrorists fake surrendering then blow themselves up when our troops are attempt to take the prisoners into custody
8. other terrorists had retaken the Mosque and had to be cleaned out again
9. no intel provided that enemy wounded had already been subdued
10. other terrorists had retaken the Mosque and had to be cleaned out again
11. after our troops successfully storm the Mosque, they go room to room to secure each, and discover some wounded and dead enemy in the room.  They start to secure the wounded to render them harmless and an assumed dead terrorist makes a sudden move

WHAT WOULD YOU DO?

1. ask him if he wants a cigarette?
2. apologize for thinking he was dead?
3. call up the chain of command for orders?
4. ask the reporter for his recommendations?
5. blow the #(*&^%@* terrorist's head off.

If you answered A, B, C or D:

YOU'RE DEAD!!!

MOST OF YOUR TEAM IS DEAD!!!

because if you believe in any other possible outcome, then YOU WILL FAIL TO ACT IN TIME when it really counts.  This is the way our troops are trained AND SHOULD BE trained.

JMHO

You are forgetting the terrorists are waiving white flags in order to trick compassionate troops into ambushes.

The only way to fix faluja is to eliminate the whole city and start from scratch.
