It is always hard to think what should you do in war.
I hope that in the situation, if it was me, I would not have shot down any pilot parachuting out.
But, by not shooting him, which is pretty much what you are doing when he is in a plane, you are allowing him to get back into a plane and kill 1 or hundreds in the future. What about bombing runways and destroying planes and killing pilots and ground staff, is that okay? So why not just shoot the parachuting pilots?
What about a sniper, his prey have no chance to defend themselves.
What about banning bio weapons, that when a drop of the liquid touches you, you feel no pain but die in seconds.
But, you allow Napalm that sticks to you and burns you alive in pain.
War is Mad, the rules are madder.
