re: #18 Obdicut

If they’ve surrendered, Geneva never allows execution. And that’s assuming that Geneva rather than the Constitution is in play, which I do not think was the case, given that he was in a Federal prison in the USA.

Allowing anyone to perform summary executions on unresisting enemies starts us down a very dark road.

If they were unresisting, then I would not advocate such a thing, ever. But since they were caught red-handed in an act of attempted murder, I am arguing that they were found in a act of further unlawful aggression and such may be shot instead of being restrained. Does that clarify things acceptably?
