There ought to be rules of engagement

There are: When you positively identify an enemy soldier that has not surrendered and is combat capable, you are allowed to engage them. That's what this soldier did.

There is no law stating that you need to make your presence and intent known before engaging the enemy.

I am no soldier and I don't study rules of engagement - so I won't comment. If I ever found myself in his shoes, I would count myself lucky for a chance to survive by any means whatsoever.

All that is beside the point I was driving at with banjo over there. It might be true, but it wouldn't have been productive to point out that all warfare is deception, for example.
