I have seen the video. My opinion is that this is how both sides act in almost all wars (everyday). I think we are just in the 21st century and more of these actions will be made public. I am not condoning this action but I do think this is probably more common than most would think.

Of course it is. Remember the outcry in Band of Brothers when they shot down the Germans? War is humans at their worst.
The ironic thing is the embedded reporter who started this, was being PROTECTED by Marines like this. This Marine had a responsibility to his fellow Marines, and to reporters to make sure they were all safe. When your enemies take the low ground, it creates incidents like this.
I just hope the mainstream media does not try to make an example of this guy.
