Who has a problem with judging soldiers fairly? The fact that people
can and do go haywire in combat further increases the value of recording
as much as possible of the situation so that we can figure out how to
improve functioning in difficult situations, and alter conflicts so that
all participants act as constructively as possilble. Recording actions
doesn't require unjust use of the data.
