But I am saying that we don't want to help them appear to be one.

The enemy is not a signatory. Here is a case where we could learn from how the Brits handled IRA violence in the 80's.

One job of a sniper is to save lives by taking enemy lives. The other job is to properly communicate information. Snipers are neither trained nor deployed to urinate on the dead and fail at the second job after the first job is done. When they do that it makes one wonder what useful so-called 'worse' technique they failed to properly employ on the living enemy.

I'm not offended by the video, I'm disappointed by it.
