They don't care. soldiers are trained to accept that bad things happen, preferably to theo other guy.

Perhaps it would be nicer if we didn't do this but with the end of the "Cold War" there seems ot be not just an increase in small wars of gratuitous violence, but an increasing glorification of suc violence in the Western press. My Dad's generation hated the killing of WWII and were civilised to the other side because they came from an era that recognised the humanity of the "other".

now, the propagandists first job is to de-humanise the "other" to make it easier to obliterate them (use of the Hillary term deliberate). War is just a video game with a reality chip. Gee that looks like fun.

Oh, Fran, quite being such an anti-Semitic Jew-hating liberal.

Obviously, if this mother would allow her children to witness such violence, then she deserves anything that happens to her...and the kids too. They should have been smart enough to have been born Jewish.

Besides that, To Smote through the door is clearly covered in the Battle of Jericho Principles of -1499. Figure 7 shows how, unless you hide the Israelite's spies, any type of Smote is allowed.

Never underestimate their intelligence, always underestimate their knowledge.
