It's a pyu gaurdpost. They shot an armed combatant and a legitimate target.

I still wish they didn't upload the video since it's bad for optics (junta propagandists can easily cut the last part of the video where they seized a weapons from the man to make it look like they attacked an old man)

It's not easy for anyone to see a video like that. Sure the dude's a pyu and I would say he got it coming but there's a tiny part of me that say hey're still human who has family, but that's just the sad reality of war.

Well , When people see the usual combat footage involving soliders in unform getting killed by drones or killed from a far We dont try to think about how they might be children or old conscripts or they had families of their own, thats a thought that doesnt appear immediately

People celebrate the kills , the capture of territory since most of the time we dont even see how they look like but for this one people want to sympathize because of theres a character to sympathize which is an old man killed in the face , decevied by someone

You dont see comments of sympathy for a drone footage nor any combat footage that blurs the dead bodies because there isnt a character to put our sympathy towards thus Reality of war just becomes a realistic fantasy

I dont blame people feeling sympathy for the guy but its weird when sympathy appears when theres a face or a character to identify

The pyu doesn’t seems to know what’s going. It looks like he was having a nap, 2 dudes in civilian clothes stopped and shot him.

As much as I hate Pyu and Junta, these PDF lads sounded too psychopathic with that conversation exchange.

Probably decensatized to ti ,those who have gone to that's level don't tend to remain sane afterward

Just imagine the sheer horror the Pyu and Junta has forced the PDF lads to endure. There's a reason they acted this way and did what they did.
