Soldier dad, It may be possible this guy was thinking this would cause a great stir. He just might have snapped seeing his buddies injured and killed. I think he thought he was going to take one for his buddies, and try to put an end to the foolish ROE, and save his friends lives. This man is no coward, from what I read.
Perhaps so. I can’t get inside another’s head to know what was going through their mind just before engaging in any action. All I can hope for is that there will be a fair and impartial trial, in which some idea of why this happened comes to light.
