Rangers’ Killing

Seeing the video footage of the killing one can say without hesitation or reservation that it was a most unfortunate, most gruesome and totally uncalled-for COLD BLOODED MURDER.  The perpetrators of such a heinous crime must not go unpunished. The Rangers must pay Deeat to the family from their own Regimental funds, which if insufficient, should be made good by collecting the required amount from the entire force on prorate' basis.

Disciplinary action must also taken against all higher ups in the chain of command – from the Section Commander to the Battalion Commander - of the trigger happy rangers for not inculcating good order and military discipline amongst the troops under their command and failing to train them in combating such law and order situations professionally and soldierly, without resorting to indiscriminate firing.
