This is what happens when a country decides upon war.
Not the "Rambo" stuff, but this stuff. Remember the US soldier who raped a girl and then killed her and her family? This is what happens when the war option is chosen. He didn't even have religious fanaticism as an excuse.
Deranged mentality is correct. And it starts at the top. When war is sold as the robust thing to do, and not going to war is cowardly. And the sheep follow the lemmings.
To pick out only one side for this sort of atrocity is to lose sight of the fact that all humanity goes out the window in war, except for the feelgood stories of patching up some kid after one side or the other shot it.
No war. Last option, not the first. That is for children.
