I am not 'close to the event' but feel the need to comment.

They train men to kill and then complain when they do.

Their victim has been described as 'an insurgent' which is a fancy name for 'enemy'.

The true murderers are the politicians who sent them there.

'Conventions of War' are rules devised by the people who never have to experience front line horror. Those rules are intended to sanitize what war actually is - brutality.

The people who control drones murder civilians but ease their consciences by distance from the kill.

When you train a soldier to kill you brainwash away a bit of his human feelings. The fact that one of them returned with a snuff movie of the event shows how de-humanising military service can be.
