Having no experience whatsoever in the military I can only surmise that to be at the helm or epicentre of any kind of conflict must have a hell of an impact on individuals. The psychological damage must be immeasurable.
However some people come back unscathed after years of duty & with no mental instabilities. Everyone has there own limits & built in mechanisms to deal with any given crisis'.
Think of it this way GF, imagine your there & you see the enemy gun down or torture your best friend, or your sister or member of family. I'll defy any living person not to react strongly in those circumstances.
Don't get me wrong I'm not condoning their actions, I'm just trying to analyse it & come to their way of reacting to a situation. Any normal sane person would be appalled, disgusted but you know I would imagine the effects of war would blinker the rationalisation of a lot of soldiers. The goodness in all men can be stretched beyond the realms of humanity if put in extreme disadvantages or danger.
No excuse I know but just giving you my thoughts.
