1. I've seen it posted here about a week ago.... very disturbing obviously.. |
|
But also very hard to tell the context. They literally could be farmers, although one wonders about the nighttime activity. But the tractor looks like it just cleared a fresh swath. The heat reading on the infared could be exhaust heat. The audio suggests a little bit of heartlessness on the soldiers part. I don't think they knew enough to draw a definitive conclusion. I thought you weren't supposed to hit individuals with rounds over a certain caliber. And it doesn't seem right that they shot the wounded guy after they wounded him. Hard to tell when we don't know the whole story. But very disturbing however else you regard this.

4. I think it's one of those awful things that |
|
happen in wars. That's why we have to do everything we can to avoid them. I don't like seeing others get killed and I hate to see our men forced to kill others. It's a sad situation no matter how you look at it.
