In situations involving combat it matters not what the truth is. The actions of your forces are always correct and lawful the enemy is always wrong. This is about winning not about being right or wrong. The Romans said 'In the face of arms law is silent. A NCO I knew said it more bluntly 'Right Smitgt, it's whether you win or lose that counts.'

It always does.

"This is about winning not about being right or wrong."

Wrong. The only justification for violence is to protect life and rights. That's the diffence between us and the jihadis.
