So while you are sitting back in your comfy chair reviewing the video of

that the soldier may have no sensory perception beyond the center of his
field of vision and that his high-level decision making functions may be
completely offline at that moment, and that this is an involuntary
condition.
### This is very interesting. Certainly, when combat data is analyzed,
allowances have to be made. However, combat cameras (or their absence) would
be quite useful in providing clues to deliberate and improper actions, like
lining prisoners against a wall and shooting them. If both sides provide
encrypted views, certain types of inconsistencies (like missing data from an
area where the other side broadcasts views of mass executions, removing
cameras from POW's, delayed transmission indicative of real-time image
manipulation) could be very valuable and might severely cramp the style of
any despot.
