I continue to struggle with what constitutes negiligent homicide in the middle of a battle.

For murder, one would think that troops would have to go on a killing rampage, knowingly, maliciously, and intentionally killing those who they have every capability of not killing.

Battle, on the other hand, is a hyper-adrenalyn period of time when your life is at immediate, serious risk and every decision must be unhesitating or you will die.

There is some area between rampage and hair-trigger righteousness that LTC Ware must see that I simply don’t see a word for.

Where is this room for negligence at the end of a hair trigger?
