I feel so sorry for the solders on the ground, they are going to go through hell now, their lives as they knew them are over. And this has nothing to do with taking sides.
My dad always taught me not to hit someone who is already on the ground.
I disagree with the notion that being a gentleman can depend on how much of a gentleman the other side is or isn't. They lost, they are on the ground and are not dangerous now. I also do not know how easy it was for soldiers to say no.
Oh sorry, I must have misunderstood but then I don't see how the fact that both sides are far from gentlemanship or what these soldiers on the ground were doing yesterday is relevant.
This is awful. I hope for some international pressure for at least somewhat fair and humane trial and treatment for these boys given Erdogan's rage and apparent intention to show the nation how everyone who was involved "will pay the highest price". This is easily one of the most upsetting parts of this whole story for me.
