52. Those US soldiers should never have surrendered in Mogadishu.
Oh, wait. They didn't. Everyone who died did so in combat, not via execution.
So what the heck are you talking about?
Actually, our guys wouldn't have surrendered in this situation for the reasons cited in the OP: those are the rules of engagement they have been given for this time and place. It is that simple. It has nothing to do with what the US Marines may think and feel versus what the Royal Marines think and feel. Either would follow their standing orders on what to do in this situation.
