These atrocities have been committed in wars since time immemorial. The difference is that they are recorded electronically for us to witness at close quarters. The adrenalined up soldiers carry out the task they have been trained for.
Nowadays war is dehumanized and further removed by the technology.
A soldier can do the killing remotely, after their shift to go home to his wife and kids.
