Never mind breaking the Geneva conventions that forbid the unordered execution of POWs.

If this guy was stressed, then he shouldn't have been in a combat theatre and needs to be under observation. If he wasn't stressed, then he knowingly executed an unarmed and wounded prisoner. Either way, he needs to be taken out of theatre and put away for either mental treatment or criminal acts.
"I can see why he would do it. He was probably running around being shot at for days on end in Falluja. There should be an investigation but they should look into the circumstances," said Lance Corporal Christopher Hanson.
"I would have shot the insurgent too. Two shots to the head," said Sergeant Nicholas Graham, 24, of Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. "You can't trust these people. He should not be investigated. He did nothing wrong."
Marines have repeatedly described the rebels they fought against in Falluja as ruthless fighters who didn't play by the rules. They say the investigation is politically motivated.
