No, you are not being realistic.
It is not realistic to think that combat helicopter pilots, who themselves are not in any immediate danger, and therefore have plenty of time to think before they act, are not even doing anything wrong in assessing a van full of unarmed people trying to save dying people away from a battlefield are dangerous and must be killed. This has nothing to do with realism.
And you think that is ... wrong? :conf:
Quite the contrary. I do not in any way whatsoever want to make this sound like some one off occurrence. I have no idea where you get that from. I want a general focus on our own, or at least our allies, military behavior, so we as people can demand that they should behave better than those we are trying to call terrorists and "evil ".
But it is also a total contradiction on your part. First you claim that what they are doing is perfectly acceptable and understandable, and then you can easily see it is something ""- direct quote - but thinks that one is focusing too much on one event?
You applying your civilian code of ethics to a war is an exercise in futility. What do you expect in war? That only enemy combatants get killed? It's like saying cars are bad because people get in car accidents. How about, not using a car, or, going to war? Then nobody dies.

That's just procrastinating. Everybody dies, it's just a matter of when and how.
