I don't know how to comment on the news of the atrocities in the field. We seen it through the history of warfare on all side, and that doesn't excuse it. In the past it was written off as the cost of war, or part of the psychological warfare package. Or even the result of poorly lead and trained soldiers.


I believe that one thing that has to happen to fix is is better mental health support for the soldiers in the field. And also far better training of NCO's and officers, and breaking the wheel of the concept of band of brother hood when it comes to how to report these actions.


At the same time, the civil authority needs to take some responsibility and maybe the military justice system has to be blended with the civilian justice system, murder is murder, and soldiers can't cover for the institutions that they belong to.


Killing civilians is a tragic, and its an unfortunate side effect of war. Its impossible to believe that there's any way of avoiding it, even with the best precision guided munitions. However the intentional targeting of civilians or the breeding of terror among civilians is unforgivable.
