War Crime
Stan Goff comments: "The �tell� is in the audio.
When the pilot asks permission to fire, he reports a large number of people� not armed people. People. And permission is granted instantly. This is an indication that the mission guidance is to shoot anyone who is in the street. This is a clear war crime, and one that begins with the commander's stated intent in the operations order. The pilot's exclamation of satisfaction, �Aw dude!� at the end just underlines how this casual sadism comes to dominate the psyches of those who are part of a military occupation force, and how the ground reality become �race war.�"
