please don't try to convince anyone here that he would not have been killed, even if the van had never come into the picture.

Had he been wearing what he should have been wearing there is every possibility that left on the pavement until the troops arrived he would have reached hospital and survived.

That bastard's trigger finger was itching so bad, he was always going to find a reason to shoot.

And if he had, he would have been charged, faced a court martial and been found guilty, because during the debrief on landing it would have been established that he had opened fire and engaged a target outwith his Rules Of Engagement without permission.
