> There is no excuse to fire on a vehicle that is picking up wounded people,
regardless of whether they are the enemy or not. That was just plainly
criminal.

And it violated the ROE for the mission, part of which was:

1. You can engage persons who commit hostile acts or show hostile intent
using minimum force necessary.
2. Do not target or strike anyone who has surrendered or is out of combat
due to sickness or wounds.

That's why they had to lie to get permission to engage the van. The gunner
says the van is "picking up bodies and weapons." Even the pilot states that
he's "picking up the wounded." Then you hear the gunner say "c'mon let us
shoot." Then you hear the pilot say "they're taking him." Then you hear
crazyhorse say "we have a black suv - bongo truck picking up the bodies.
Request permission to engage." Then the gunner says "Fuck." Then bushmaster
gives them permission to engage.
