madness from happening??? With all the families that have been shot up, civilians killed, etc. history may well have repeated itself more times than we'd care to know. Remember, these are Iraqis we are fighting and killing and for what, so that this sort of scenario can play itself out again and again?
Double tap, not just for Vietnam, not just for terrorists... but for Iraqi insurgency, who would not be an insurgency if not for the decisions of people thousands of miles away who have a narrow view of reality to be sure.

You could hear him moaning, you could hear him, "(pant, pant) I'm coming! I'm coming! (pant, pant)" over the radio. It took him about twenty minutes to get there, but finally they break out on the same trail through the other side of the back end of the village and run down the trail to the guy. The officer gets there, runs up to him, stops, leans down, looks at him, stands up, pulls out his .45, cocks it, BOOM! Shoots the guy in the head. Looks up at us, he gets on his radio and says, "This man no longer needs any help."

Selective firing (whether or not to shoot a target) as well as the double tap (shooting the target twice to make sure that the target does not get up again) are instilled in the Counter-terrorism specialists.
