considering under the rules of engagement and the Geneva convention, you are supposed to give first aid to captured enemy combatants, so yeah they broke some pretty serious rules there, deserved if they get found guilty.

Tis more beneficial in the grand scheme of things that terry taliban is brought in alive for medical treatment then a friendly chat with some people who are trained in conducting friendly chats with terry nd his buddies. Not much information can be exploited if he's dead and a reputation for summary executions or leaving people to die etc.. isn't going to aid in any future negotiations with moderate types, eventual withdrawal etc...

"We have just received an update that we would like to share. The Taliban Terrorist in this case was injured and died from his wounds. The men charged with the murder of this man are guilty of nothing more than a failure to act: failure to take action when action is necessary. They refused to give first aid as he had previously been shooting at them and their colleagues."

Oh. I didn't find that one. The first and only result that popped up had 160 followers!
It's legally impossible to commit murder through an act of pure omission. The only way they could be charged with murder if they did leave him to die would be if they had unlawfully injured him in the first place.
