If he was pretending to be dead , he was not surrendering. and if he was not surrendering or had not surrendered he was not a prisoner!
If he was wounded and they have been using wounded and dead to kill Americans like the japs and some Vietnames did, then he was not a prisoner. He was a frigging enemy target. I say let the boy go free. The bastards in the press are committing treason again by providing propaganda to the enemy and the damned politicians are letting them. I say flood the white house with messages if you are an old soldier telling the pols and the press to back off or go get a damned gun and go to Fullujah and show us how to do it right.
The kid was doing as he was trained when the enemy booby traps the dead or the wounded lay with grenades.
and the damned terrorist got exactly whatwas coming to him.
If I was in that unit I'd find some way to make sure that reporter died of enemy fire.
