I'll probably get downvoted for this but whatever. I was in 9th grade and the 2003 invasion of Iraq was just getting underway. We had a substitute teacher in my chemistry class and he was telling stories about being a pilot during the first war. This other kid in the class kept asking questions and pretending like he was really interested in this guy's stories. This dude is bragging like he was a big shot pilot and whatever. And then my classmate asked the teacher how many people he murdered and how many of them were kids our age. This dude got pissed and started arguing and justifying the shit, but then just shut up about it for the rest of the time he was subbing. It was great. It's always good to remember that war crimes don't happen if the people choose not to carry them out. The people in charge are responsible too, but the ordinary military members who follow those orders are disgusting.

So anyway, I hope this pilot is having a bad time. He made a poor series of decisions and now is dealing with the consequences.
