And their soldiers are not American?
The point I was making was that some of their 'behaviour' (i.e. allowing their adrenaline/emotions to overpower them in the stress of the combat situation) is possibly down to their cultural makeup.
I'm trying to understand, rather than excuse, as I think that kind of incompetence is inexcusable for a nation like theirs.
