Good. Killing the enemy should never be brought into question.

Strictly speaking, that statement is not true. If the enemy is your defenseless prisoner, then to kill him is murder, and should be prosecuted.

Exactly, should have gave him a pocket knife first.
Actually, dropping a bomb on the enemy in Afghanistan from 50,000 feet probably makes them defenseless as well, but I don't see it that way.
