    Of course we try to avoid killing them. But there’s no way that Apache crew can discern them from the militia they embedded in. They’re not super human.

        Again. There was no way to discern them from the militia. The Army is not going to just let themselves get shot at because there “might be” a reporter on the other side.

          seems to me they had the option to stay away from that conflict entirely, but the commander in chief decided that it was ok to endanger civillians with his adventurism. staying the fuck home wuold have meant that they avoided killing civillians. they chose not to do that.
