Being shot twice and surrounded by dead guys* (*a reasonable chance that they are the closest thing to 'family' he ever really knew in the few years that he had been a teenager), is it not unreasonable to expect that the incoming combatants are about to finish you off? Whether it's out of vengeance or self-defence, throwing a grenade doesn't seem the least bit unreasonable to me at that point...


Again, I don't think he should get a dime. The government could certainly help him with housing, free education, food, etc. as he establishes his life, though.
