Re: Shooting pilots in their parachutes

Rather than trying to find which air force behaved badly (my own humble opinion being that in every air force there were pilots who shot at parachutes, and that in every air force the majority of pilots did not do it), I would like someone answers the following question:

Why will it be more unfair for a pilot to shot at an airman after he baled out than for a pilot to strafe infantry, truck drivers, etc..., or for an artilleryman to fire at any target that has not enough range to return fire, or for a soldier to fire from an ambush position ?
