"The latter is well beyond the scope of what is required, and if the soldier in question did something like it, at the very least there’d be a formal inquiry if not a full court martial." Based on what military experience? What's your precedent? When has a soldier killing a hostile target (in self-defense, no less) with the means he has (like extensive combat training) resulted in a guilty verdict in a court-martial? You do realize formal inquiries and a court-marshal are not punishments, right?
Yes, I am. And that’s why I said what I said. If a soldier undertook the actions that Magneto did in similar circumstances, then there would possibly be a court-marshal–the results of which would depend upon the conclusions of the tribunal.
