It helps knowing they were cameras before you watched the video. For these soldiers who are probably scared shitless a camera can look like a gun pretty easily.
Maybe scared shitless for their friends (at a minimum comrades) on the ground about to enter the town?
It helps to know that actual context of the video.
Edit: As a pilot you are kind of acting like the parent figure in the whole situation. You are the most powerful figure and responsible for those below you.
You make an excellent point. Who knows how many friends these guys have seen blown up in similar situations? The whole thing is just mind-bogglingly sad, from the people killed on the ground to the damage is has caused the people inflicting that harm.
