A fellow Army SF guy recently wrote an article<\/a> for Business Insider titled \u201cHere’s the real reason that photos of bin Laden’s body won’t ever be shown.\u201d\u00a0 In the article, Jack Murphy writes that inside sources claim,<\/p>\n

\u201cWhen all was said and done, UBL had over a hundred bullets in him, by the most conservative estimate.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Murphy went on to write,<\/p>\n

\u201cwhat should concern you is a trend within certain special-operations units to engage in this type of self-indulgent, and ultimately criminal, behavior. Gone unchecked, these actions get worse over time.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Where I grew up in the Army, we were trained to shoot a fallen enemy combatant as you approached, but once you came back to them, and they were still alive\u2014unless they were a threat\u2014you had to treat them as a wounded combatant and provide life-saving care.<\/p>\n

Obviously, there was a lot of ambiguity in those set of instructions, and most warfighters agreed that a proper amount of rounds would ensure that no medical attention would be needed.\u00a0 Furthermore, there was a consensus that a breathing enemy is always a threat\u2014the mind is our greatest weapon after all. \/S<\/p>\n

I know it\u2019s common practice for military dog handlers let their dogs bite a dead enemy combatant while on the objective.\u00a0 Apparently it helps keep the dogs sharp and permits them to act out their training to the fullest.<\/p>\n

Can the same be said about for our Special Operators?<\/p>\n

Personally, I don\u2019t have a problem with America\u2019s warrior class putting some frustration rounds into an enemy that was just trying to rob them of their life.<\/p>\n
