It seems there is a grammatical error there. But I don't know where it is.
Context:
"Context:
“When a car doesn’t stop, it crosses the trigger line, Marines engage and, yes, sir, there are people inside the car that are killed that have nothing to do with it,” Sgt. Maj. Edward T. Sax, the battalion’s senior noncommissioned officer, testified. "
certainly indicates "I had" could mean a direct order to shoot to kill.
It's not like it's a first instance. The US has a long and storied history of gunning down innocent civilians. You don't get to the high single digit millions of dead from troops who care who their targets are.
Remember the Apache helicopter murderers - something like " Serves them right for bringing their kids to a fire fight" - truly caring individuals.
