I don't agree with what the soldier did...two wrongs do not make a right. He should be investigated for killing an unarmed, injured man inside of a mosque.
That said, I understand why he may have done it. Combat, especially when the enemy is doing things like hiding in mosques and pretending to be wounded or blowing themselves up after they've been wounded makes people do things very quickly. In his eyes, he probably thought he was saving the lives of himself and the others with him. Personally while I cannot imagine taking someone's life, I can't say I wouldn't have done differently if in his situation.
