    They are soldiers carrying weapons in an active combat zone. It’s ugly, but this is just war in the way civilians haven’t been privy to, for hundreds of years. (I don’t mean drones, I mean ambushes at night)

    If the video had shown them stripping down, discarding weapons/gear and holding up hands to the drone, then maybe you have something to discuss.

      Okay, so because they didn’t “actively” show they were retreating that changes the rule of engagement on combatants vs potential POW?

      -seriously asking, not sarcasm or baiting.

        The military objective is to reduce the enemies ability to wage war. Inflicting military casualties is a legitimate means to that end otherwise any and all weapon use would be a warcrime. Efficacy is not a concern in this regard. In fact ethically speaking, the precision drones allow is an improvement over almost all other weapons (even bullets miss and strike civilians hundreds of meters away).

        By continuing to hold a weapon even retreating troops (which these 2 aren’t doing in the clip ftr) maintain their status as an immediate threat which makes them fair game, and in the fog of war even throwing down a weapon isn’t enough because they likely have a sidearm and/or grenades.

          Okay yea that makes sense, I’ll do some more research on the topic to see what the rules are for this kind of thing.

          Thank you for taking time to explain this where others would just downvote, shit talk and ignore.
