  The case in question is whether a prisoner in a room was offered the appropriate medical assistance or left to die!
  That is as far as I have understood it.
  
  As for your theory, Jan, concerning how soldiers should react and act in battle, it is absolutely not as you put it.
  The very first thing soldiers MUST think about on duty are the rules of engagement.
  Unless a soldier knows and has been taught this, they cannot and must not be sent into battle.
  
  I am sure the British Army has made sure that every soldier sent on an active mission DOES know that the rules of engagement are the first thing in the mind of a soldier when on active duty.
  This is vital for the individual soldier, the other soldiers in the same group or in a friendly group, and for any civilians that may be caught up in a military reaction/action. It is also essential so as to assure that opponents surrendering can be taken prisoner and treated according to the rules of the Army.
  
  Having been born in an Army base, I know that this is the fact and is indisputable. We learnt this at primary school in North Camp.
