It is a war crime to kill enemy combatants who are no longer a threat.

It should be mentioned that it was Hegseth who lobbied Trump to pardon some in the military who had committed war crimes during Trump's first term in office (Pete Hegseth’s Role in Trump’s Controversial Pardons of Men Accused of War Crimes).
