Double Tapping in Today's Army
Abstract
I consider double tapping a wounded enemy Soldier the correct thing to do when circumstances prevent rendering first aid. Double tapping, simply defined, means the placing of additional rounds of munitions in the body of an already wounded enemy combatant with the intent of killing him. There are many opposing views to this method of ensuring my fellow Soldiers safety. The media, fellow Soldiers, the American public, and many religious groups would argue that this method might be criminal and the American public shouldn't condone it. I disagree because for one to understand the situation that many of American Soldiers find themselves in, one must place him in that position.
