Did the film makers advised him to wear a mask and did he actively decide not to?

Otherwise, I tend to blame the film makers still, at least partly.

Do you blame a scorpion for stinging someone who picks it up?

A scorpion is not a dogshit human being who makes conscious decisions to kill other human beings.

The point is that it has predictable behavior.

You can look at every military action the US has taken since WWII to see the same behavior.

I am not excusing the US's behavior, I'm just saying it's wild that he could look at Bagram and the black sites or the weddings, hospitals, and ambulances the Americans bombed, and not see the only difference between him and the other victims is that he is currently useful.
