The logic of 'you can kill him - that's ok, but if you wound him and he's dying a slow painful death, you can't then kill him.' is absolutely bonkers.

This report should have been shredded.
I suggest you familiarize yourself with international law, specifically, Article 12 of First Geneva Convention:

Quote:
Art. 12. Members of the armed forces and other persons mentioned in the following Article, who are wounded or sick, shall be respected and protected in all circumstances.

They shall be treated humanely and cared for by the Party to the conflict in whose power they may be, without any adverse distinction founded on sex, race, nationality, religion, political opinions, or any other similar criteria. Any attempts upon their lives, or violence to their persons, shall be strictly prohibited; in particular, they shall not be murdered or exterminated, subjected to torture or to biological experiments; they shall not wilfully be left without medical assistance and care, nor shall conditions exposing them to contagion or infection be created.
