Kill the Enemy Before They Kill You

Dear Editor,
    The Marine in Iraq that killed the "wounded insurgent" or enemy a few weeks ago did exactly what he was trained to do. As far as I can find out he did not violate any code of ethics or rules of war. The enemy was not trying to surrender, so the Marine’s actions were correct. I can relate to what he did because I spent a year in Korea in 1951 and was wounded two times on the battlefield. My friend would probably be alive today if he had not waited too long to act. He was killed by a North Korean civilian woman when she infiltrated our observation post.
    I think what has to be done is to eliminate the video cameras on the battlefield, because they don’t tell the complete story. Let our military heroes fight the war the best way they know how. You have got to kill the enemy before they kill you!
