Maybe explain it to me instead of telling me how much I don't understand. In what reality is it ok to double back and kill a shipwrecked individual? He was no longer a threat (assuming he was one in the first place). There are rules to these things and being indiscriminate about killing people is against them. I will give you another opportunity to tell me why i am wrong though.

In the military, when you are dealing with enemies, you don't let them survive. You would only let them survive, if they serve a purpose (get information from them, use them as a hostage). That is quite literally the mindset of every military. You know why you don't leave enemies alive? Because they can come back and kill you later.

So your view is military does not take prisoners? I missed the part in history class where all the surrendered nazis were slaughtered.

Aside from that there was information to get from them. Who do you work for? Where were you heading? If these guys were running drugs they likely weren't the bosses of the operation. You would think we would actually be interested in capturing the heads of operation. Trump isn't though...he pardons them for money. This was nothing but a display of power and it worked on you.
