My mind wants to wander down far too many avenues on this topic to address them all. *looks up* Especially with issues like war crimes and just why the U.S. is in Iraq on their way through the woodwork. So I'll keep this as a direct response to the initial question.
I saw that video clip months ago; and yes it's real. It's been posted at various sources, though my initial link was from another gaming website.
Q: "Are soldiers allowed to kill wounded soldiers?"
A: If they weren't, the entire idea of weaponry would be out. Most of our current weapons of destruction do just that: destroy. If it were wrong to kill wounded soldiers, an enemy would be declared "hands off" as soon as he took the first bullet.
This just seems to me to be another reminder that war involves death.
