Turbine and others that are talking about rules of engagement and so on, you are perfectly correct about innocent people getting shot in the heat of battle, but the offences we have been talking about are NOT in the heat of battle.
So special pleading about "better to be judged by 12 than buried by 6" is irrelevant.
The real issue is one of military DISCIPLINE (sorry for shouting). The CO concerned is on trial so there must be overwhelming evidence of his (alleged) guilt. If this behaviour is not nipped in the bud, it may well get worse, culminating in war crimes trials and the inability of certain persons to take foriegn holidays.
Of course, if any of you feel that its not bad being tagged as "Crusaders" by the Arabs and behaving accordingly, then good luck at your eventual trial at the Hague.
