Absence of controversy

This page doesn't seem to make any mention of the fact that the enemy combatant was mortally wounded. It completely ignores the entire debate around mercy killing, to the extent that people unaware of the incident wouldn't even realize this was one. 86.183.35.158 (talk) 08:51, 27 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]

The article doesn't give specifics of the terrorist's injuries. The motive for killing him wasn't euthanasia, but more specifics of the event should be stated in the article. Jim Michael (talk) 17:51, 22 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]
