Doesn't matter what they do now. They're dead, nothing is going to bring them back to life. Saying sorry is complementary and a must in these situations, but it does not make one iota of difference.

true but i think a message can and has been sent out that future engagements must be seen to be of a realistic danger and not an simple eagerness of some jock who want to just pull a trigger.
watching that film i couldn't see any reason to open fire.
three types of weapon were mentioned, were any recovered, certainly no one stole them, anyone entering the kill zone was put down.

because shit does happen in war it doesn't make it right. this wasn't right.
for me there are no excuses.
