6. Sounds like a "take no prisoners" mentality at work
"Up on the ridge, Tillman and Rangers around him began to wave their arms and shout. But they only attracted more fire from Baker's vehicle.
"I saw three to four arms pop up," one of the gunners with Baker recalled. "They did not look like the cease-fire hand-and-arm signal because they were waving side to side." When he and the other gunners spotted the waving arms, their "rate of fire increased.""
What if these had been enemy trying to surrender? It sounds like Bush's dismissal of the concept of "rules of war" backfired on Tillman.
