Do we know that?
What we do know the photos were a bad idea to take; but that is all we know at this point.
How do know the dead people in the pictures were not attacking our people when killed?
When you train the boys to kill, they sometimes do crazy things as in all wars. You just look the other way and thank them for their duty. They have their own demons to fight with as they grow older.
