It's bad enough the sensationalism is among the press.

Worse when it's bystanders who just want to get attention for their pics of a horrific tragedy among their friends/whatever.

What is most disturbing is how high technology in war is used to target for bombing and shooting. People at the controls in ...a room. They never see who they kill. That's pretty sick. Therefore one does not face the tragedy in front of their face.

yea, so what if the killers get traumatized? Isn't that what war is about in terms of the after-effects, among other things?
Seriously? A young person is called by their country (whatever country) to serve, they answer the call, and their trauma elicits a "so what" from you? Unbelievable!

You can disagree with war all day long, but don't degrade those who serve. It sucks so much to be pulled away from everything that matters to you in life, to be put in a position to do the unthinkable, and then have to live with the aftermath. If you want to toss off a blase "so what" save it for the idiots in power/authority who send kids to take care of their business.
