Every time I watch atrocity footage, I'm reminded of the look on Tommy Lee Jones in In the Valley of Elah.
There, he's a father who served, trying to figure out what happened to his son, who died while serving.
What he ultimately finds is a body of cruel actions by his son and his buddies... but his *face*, while watching related footage, makes it clear that none of this surprises him.
War cultivates cruelty - and that's a stain on us all.
We are complicit in *such* brokenness as a world.
