I was very upset by the video. To think that our soldiers are trained to kill without questioning seems morally wrong. I know this is to protect themselves, but when they realized that the villagers were unarmed they should have stopped and asked questions. I recently visited the Vietnam and Korean memorials in DC. It was very sobering to me.

I agree that the video was upsetting;however, the soldier's reaction goes back to our human conditioning. It is hard to imagine being able to murder innocent people, but they were taught and trained to follow orders. I am not saying this is morally right, but we are all taught to obey to some degree. Also, who knows what causes a normal person to suddenly snap and lose sense of reality. It is sad!
