Well interesting point Joe,but he was not a prisoner he was the enemy who we tried to kill,we only wounded him so the soldier finished him off and should be applauded.
I find it hard to give any compassion to the Taliban as they do the most in-humane things imaginable as posted on here.
Going back to Germans,Argies etc many will have been finished off no doubt and so have British servicemen too-surely in a war the aim is to eliminate the Enemy?
