I gladly agree with your first statement.
I don´t agree to make exceptions.

Being emotional get you into such a situation in the first place.

I bet the German pilot also had his reasons to aim at the chutes of a bomber crew having dropped their payload on civilians.
Maybe he lost his family the night before. Which doesn´t make it right, but just as understandable as in Bud Petersons case. The difference is they were soldiers, the citizens weren´t.
