War has never been about honor, or pride.
Just about killing the other guy as quickly and efficiently as possible.

Geneva laws aren't about honor or pride, they are about not killing people unable to fight back.
A disabled soldier is no threat so there is no reason to kill him. It is not okay to treat war prisoners like shit, they are human as well.

Yeah, they could have captured him, or just left him, but the problem is people panic. They just see a bad guy, and they do what they're trained to. They don't know if he still has a gun on him, or if more are on the way, so I guess they figure this is easier than trying to detain him.
if the ejected pilot was my enemy in the battlefield, i would shoot him.
It's all about survival
Talk about wasting ammo.
Seriously what a flipping waste, they didn't even get the guy
I thought that the pilot would have looked like swiss cheese when he landed :v:
Perhaps they did
AUTO MERGE FFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFUUUUUUUUUU
If that guy was Rico though, they better hope to shoot him before he gets within grappling hook range.
[QUOTE=fixture;27723877]war in itself is a crime[/QUOTE]
But war isn't a warcrime.
Wow what faggots, grow a pair and fight him when he has a gun in his hands.
It's a Russian plane/pilot, and he survived despite being shot at by both sides.
[QUOTE=Nyaos;27724891]You're not supposed to shoot at medics either but people do that. Geneva conventions are really only followed when it comes to using like chemical weapons and stuff, things that can be completely traced to the government. It sucks but hey, war fucking sucks in the first place.[/QUOTE]
Who in their right mind wouldn't shoot the guy who is preparing the enemies men to shoot at you again.
"All's fair in love and war."

A mechanised platoon versus one man with a pistol? Still doesn't have much chance.

With that logic no one should attack paratroopers and transport planes until they have landed.

But at least he can shoot back.

Thats different, because paras aren't dropped on their own with a handgun.
Its the fact that hes on his own is what makes it cowardly, its not like when he hits the ground he'll be capable of wiping them out.
War.......War never changes
Was it the Russian's who shot at the Georgian pilot or vice versa?
At first I thought it was the Russian pilot, but that plane looks like a SU-25 which both Georgia and Russia have in their armory.
I thought shooting paratroopers was a war crime, too?

uhhh, you're not going to shoot the people that are invading your country?

If you're prepared to kill the man, why not do it when he's incapable of killing you back
That isn't lack of balls. It's fucking common sense.

Your answer is too short.
If someone bombed my hometown, I wouldn't hesitate to shoot him as he fell from the sky.
