First Geneva Convention says you can’t kill soldiers who are out of battle due to injuries or sickness, that much is true. I haven’t heard of these “double taps” before so I don’t know the circumstances but I wanted to point out that killing an injured soldier who have not yet decided to stop fighting is seemingly allowed.
I’ve seen a few video where they drop a grenade on someone that’s clearly been knocked unconscious, as well as some where the person has given up. I’ve seen one where they let the person walk to the front line and give himself up as well.
I think most drone squads operate close or behind enemy lines and from a fair distance from the actual drone. You can’t really take prisoners in those kinds of situation in most cases.
