Rules of war are predominantly to protect the losing side. US troops in Middle East should allow enemy or neutral non-combatants to evacuate enemy wounded without a fight. In terms of what US should do to evacuate it's wounded, it's a utilitarian rather than moral decision based on what's less likely to sustain additional casualties and whether enemy forces are inclined to respect unarmed red cross vehicles/personal or use them as easy targets. Let's hope we don't live to see a conflict where US is at the mercy of rules of law to protect our own troops and civilians. I am also not advocating our asymmetric engagements, just pointing out that our primary protection there is our own military superiority.
