Mercy killings are forbidden for a number of reasons. One being it isn't the role of untrained soldiers to make medical decisions as to which type wound is, or is not recoverable.

Re the mercey killing case, the article implies the person was pinned in he wreckage, not that he was actually dying of wounds. To me it is more likely he was being saved from being painfully burned to death and there was no way to extract him from the wreckage.
I think it is interesting the the Lt. Col. name is not listed and only the defense ttorney name is included.
