An SAS veteran has defended the "mercy killing" of mortally wounded Iraqi soldiers after it was reported that he faces a murder probe triggered by confessions made in a book.
After firing rockets at the enemy units, the SAS squad found two Iraqi soldiers who had been disembowelled and another who had lost three of his limbs, but they were still alive.
He said: "Our motives were entirely humane. I'll happily go to court, I'll happily go to jail, if you think I've done wrong. But people should put themselves in my position first. Walk around in my boots, then judge me."

Doctors have prescribed intentional high amounts of morphine for terminal patients to ease suffering.
Is this really any different?

They used a big scary gun... that makes it evil..
Seriously no nothing is different, its just idiots that have no clue about what happens on a battlefield running for their safe place.

the problem in this case is that the cockwomble went " full media whore " and documented an illegal act in a book he published .
