The way I see it is this: if the situation was reversed (unarmed, unconsious Marine killed in a church) the "terrorist" would be judged as the most base creature... so why shouldn't the same standard that is used to define the criminal acts of the "enemy" be applied to this Marine?

The difference is that the terrorist should simply not exist.
The terrorist, to begin with, is not the same as the soldier and hence to try and judge their actions on the same level is beyond ridiculous.
