The unarmed one who was playing dead.
Dangerous game to play, with Rambo in the house.

I'm talking about US people here, not UK. WE should not be involved in Bushy boy's little war. If he wants to go in, fair enough, but I see no reason why we should support the little turd.
I'm not sure them having "*****" has anything to do with it, they are doing thier job. We don't do it as we are not in the army, they are. I would not wish to be out there, but then I'm not in the Army, as it's not something that appeals to me, but to some it does. Some, and it does seem that many of the US soldiers I have encountered are like this, do join up for the whole "glory" bit, and going to war is like rolling in **** with pigs for them!

I see everyone is quick to back the Iraqi then - judging by past experience the troops shouldnt take any chances with those b@stards (referring to insurgents). Not seen the video myself, but wouldnt put it past him to have been clutching a grenade, and waiting for a soldier/medic to come up to him and take them out.

I think we can't believe he did it on camera.
He could have just asked the guy to strip from a safe distance.
Then shot him.

I would also agree that some UK troops are thick, but they are normally well trained and are disciplined enough to not shoot innocents. On the rare occasions when UK troops do shoot innocents (as happened last year in Iraq), they are very quickly charged - even without the press being there.

Seen the video now, it's on Ogrish. You really don't see anything on the unedited version as the exposure is all wrong and the Iraqi is in the far corner of the room at the edge of the shot.
Still can't believe matey shot him with a cameraman filming, what a fruitcake.

The news reports on the radio today said the soldier in question had been injured the day before and a member of his squad blown up by a booby trapped body.I'd be paranoid too as would any soldier with an ounce of sense/smidgeon of training.
Just because the camera is there doesn't mean they should suddenly forget all their training.Most of us can't even comprehend what is going through the soldiers minds in moments like this,let alone comment on split second decision making in life or death situations.

well said markus, from all the reports I heard today this guys mate was killed yesterday in a similar position when the guy blew him up, the soldier was also injured yesterday. and I also hear they had been shooting at people in this building all day so every1 in it must have been a suspect to a certain extent.

just to clarify...lots of yanks are thick...so are lots of brits.....and the place was full of ppl trying to kill the yanks who are there to kill them so im not fussed he shot him.

Wondered how long it would be before the 'PS2 Armchair Generals' on here started saying how thick the US soldier was, how its really, really awful!!
War IS awful!!!
You are a 19 year old, you are **** scared, you have been injured, you have seen friends blown up by apparently dead bodies, you have seen booby traps go off, you have seen suicide bombers ........
The enemy WANT to die - YOU don't!!
So, there is an Iraqi laying dead, who then wakes up ..... what do you do? remember you have 2 seconds ..... you CANNOT turn off the power and start again, no reset button, no memory card to fall back on ........
Bear in mind that that Iraqi could have been the one who beheaded Bigley! What were you lot saying we should do with them if we caught them?
He was executed - end of ........
I seem to remember what you lot would like to do to scum that steal and damage your cars ................ maybe we should invite the US Marines into a Council Estate near you? Doubt if you would call for their heads then!

Pete, havng figures of Action Man with 'eagle eyes' and Dr X does not give you a military background.
These are not conscripts but supposedly professional soldiers.

For your information, there are live shooting ranges for troops where targets pop-up and you have a split second to react - shoot or don't shoot. Some of the targets are enemy soldiers pointing weapons at you, some are women cradling a baby, some enemy soldiers attempting to surrender etc etc. These facilities are there to train soldiers to shoot the correct targets.
I'm sure even you must have realised I'm not a PS2 general by now...
