Found a reddit post from Platner describing his unit in Iraq being ordered to stop using mortars in high density urban areas.

He devised a method to use mk19 grenade launchers to evade detection by command. "It wasn't the most accurate system" he says, but he still used it.

There's that famous video of British troops literally beating up Iraqi schoolchildren on their way back home while their (the soldiers obviously) compatriots cheer in the distance.

These people are reminders that no, not everyone understands the world in the view that they're the good guys; some people just see the world as 'I'm superior and they're inferior, and that makes it okay to do what I want with them'.
