But if you are a fighter pilot, do you have those choises? No you don't. You can't only wound the soldier. You can't supress him. You can't capture him. You can only eliminate him by killing him. If he flies over your country, then you can gamble and let him go down to get captured.
Those are the choises. Or of course there is that sandbox choise "we just shoot planes down." It is good in gaming or if you fear yourself of being shot down.

If there are no planes left then the pilot is irrelevant. This is what is known as Air superiority. There will always be people to put into planes.
Would you throw a grenade into a barn full of unarmed POW soilders?
Or execute anyone and everyone who surrendered?
Talk all you like about 'kill everyone who could possibly kill you at somepoint in the future' that argument could also be used to justify bombing children. It's a flawed argument.
