No one's saying people don'y have the right to say whatever they want. But I also have the right to say what I said, from a stronger, more informed position.

And as for not needing battlefield experience to understand that order must be maintained... Well, battlefield experience will teach you that soldiers are human beings with human reactions and emotions. Putting on a uniform and doing basic training doesn't make you into a robot.

I think this one being an ex sergeant has undergone a bit more than "basic training"

And he will have been trained in how to deal with that, which is why he has been tried and convicted for his crime. Maybe also the reason it was manslaughter and not the murder it should have been.

Actually, I am looking at it from a miliary angle and with extensive experience of the problems in Israel, including the back history of this incident. You're looking at it after reading the edited story on the Internet.

No, im looking at it from the verdict made by a millitary court and my disgust at the crime he was found guilty of by that military court after i viewed the video a few times for myself.most worrying is the time between the stabbing and the final shooting..
