Not the only one. If it was possible, I would put a TV-camera on the
helmet of every soldier, broadcast it worldwide, and record on tape. Then,
after the war, review them and hold the shooter liable for any
misconducts.
After all, a human being is not infinetely reliable, moreso
with a rifle in his hands in split-haired situations like the ones that
he will encounter in the battle field. We think "guilty" about people who
kill other people in car accidents, usually due to some errors in their
driving. I don't see why during a war these rules should be changed.
