Probably a well trained military crewman who knows how to follow orders from the guys up top who should have already done the vetting of the information. Can't fault them.

    Yeah, if you're a trigger puller you assume you've been assigned legitimate military targets. When the "sights" you're aiming down are an ISR feed from a satellite, drone or just GPS coordinates, it can be difficult to verify the building you've locked is a school or headquarters of something. Complicated by the pace of attack this administration demanded.
