Or the cases where downed allied aircrew where lynched in Germany. On your line of thinking all fair targets as they are enemy.
I don´t like that way of thinking at all.

You're taking it WAY out of context
USAAF pilots shot Luftwaffe pilots in their 'chutes. Fact. The Luftwaffe also did this to USAAF aircrew, but even when each side didn't do it, there was an ulterior motive: interrogation of captured aircrew
The USS Wahoo gunned down Japanese troops in the Pacific after it sank their ship, and the captain was commended- those troops didn't get to kill any Americans
Those examples are a FAR cry from dropping a stick of bombs on a Red Cross Hospital becasue "its full of the enemy". The trouble here is that some folks don't understand that while there is a logical conclusion to some points, logic doesn't HAVE to go all the way to the conclusion
