11. Last time I checked

continuing to fire on visibly unarmed individuals is a war crime, even if it's done out of fear or stupidity.

Something else you can hear in the video is one, if not more, U.S. soldiers yelling "ceasefire, unarmed, ceasefire unarmed!" in the background. But these yahoos just keep on shootin'.

And the video in my OP, shooting the wounded man, would also qualify as a crime the last time I checked. But apparently we are missing some context in the longer video that would justify it, so you seem to suggest.
