A close friends son is fighting at the front line in Afghanistan. He's one of the elite.
We have discussed his training and they don't train soldiers to kill people they respect, like, think of as husbands, fathers or even people. That's self defeating. Because when someone appears in the cross hairs of his rifle, he has to control every emotion and make sure the bullet he sands 1,000 metres hits squarely in the place t was intended.
It takes a lot of adrenalin and sheer guts to fight in a war. So expecting them to act like saints after the killing is so cock eyed t beggars belief.
The problem is not training them to do stupid things like film it. There's a reason that after Vietnam, which I considered and illegal war, the press were not given free reign. Soldiers with cameras, defeats the object.
