I am just like the SS am i?

That is not a very nice comment.

Do explain why you think that?

This was cold blooded, cynical, premeditated murder of an incapacitated enemy. Yes, it happens, always has and always will. But if we are soldiers of a civilised society then we should certainly not condone it and should rigorously punish those who do it.
So exactly what was accomplished by prosecuting Marine A for this.....if you admit these acts will always happen.....evidently there is something that causes Soldiers to do this that is not deterred by punishing others. So what is it that causes Soldiers to kill the Enemy?

My arguments have been consistent....it is your interpretation that is the problem.

What you and others don't like is to forced to confront reality.....and that is there is no "Moral High Ground" in War. Touchy Feely PC thinking has no place in War.
