While soldiers fighting murderous and nihilistic fanatics cannot be expected to be angels they must abide by the law. The very reasons were are rightly bombing ISIS/Daesh and other kindred trash is that they act like barbarous criminals who need to be extirpated.

We cannot act like them and it is utterly ridiculous to suggest that our military should behave as John Hall suggests.

As it happens the principles of 'peacetime law' do not apply to the battlefield but the rule of law does. It is our adherence to the rule of law that makes us infinitely superior to the enemy we are fighting.
