Lucky the Russians aren't fighting the US.
> In one chilling incident [the documents] detail how an Apache helicopter gunship gunned down two men in February 2007. The suspected insurgents had been trying to surrender but a lawyer back at base told the pilots: ‘You cannot surrender to an aircraft.'

- ceejayoz 4y agoEven if that's true legally, what a dumb decision tactically. Killing surrendering troops means fewer surrenders and results in more deaths for your side.
