I hope that they find this soldier not-guilty in the charges of murder... while he could have used more "humane" methods he did act in a way that I do find honourable. It is an event that happens in combat that grevious and mortal wounds are dealt, but leaving the victim alive, aware, and sufering for a time - it cases like this I find it an acceptable action to help end the suffering of the victim, friendly or enemy.
