        They are not soldiers. They do not kill each other.

        They shout at each other on camera. Their animosity is probably exaggerated. At least one commentator brought up meeting him in person, in a debate, as a reason his death affected them more. Soldiers rarely meet opposing soldiers in such good terms as even the spiciest debate.

        There is a reason propaganda needs to dehumanize and otherize the “enemy”.
