...there was an incident where a bunch of Germans surrendered. They were given over to an officer to escort them back to be detained. As soon as they walk out of sight, you can hear gunfire. The officer killed them. Turns out, his family, who are Jewish, were all murdered by Nazi's.
Should the officer be charged? And do you agree with what he did, regardless?
The news of the green beret has me thinking about that incident.

Yes he should. Rules of engagement. A member of my family was a junior officer in the British Army in the Mau Mau rebellion, he and two other junior officers tried to stop something not dissimilar to all accounts and were themselves shot. 65 years on some of what happened is still classified but he was exonerated for any wrong doing.
Did you see this on WW2 in HD? That's where I saw it.

Yes he should be charged. I imagine he knew there could be consequences yet opted to satisfy his vengeance anyway. Not saying I'd like to see him convicted or punished in any way, but there should be some disciplinary action in some form, no second dessert or something like that.

Should he be charged? Yes. Would I have lost sleep over what he did if I was his commanding officer? Not one wink.
Anyone remember that scene from Band of Brothers when this one guy gives some captured Germans some smokes and then shoots them all while they are smoking?

If it's the situation I'm thinking of no these were not the people who killed his family.

Yes he should be charged... and someone involved in the process of arresting processing him should "screw up" in some way that results in him being freed on a technicality.

Killing nazis should have been a war crime in itself.

What an idiot! The Nazis were the good guys. But anyways, legally he should be charged, since killing an unarmed man is a war crime. So legally he is in the wrong.
