Now having watched the episode, the scene is definitely meant to imply
all the Trinitys are sociopaths.  Nena pulled the trigger, but Johann
and Michael's concerns are not at all on human lives but on following
flight paths.

Actually you do.  In the US ROE, the term is "active pursuit", it's
even allowed to pursuit them into countries not at war with you.
Cambodia then, Iran now.

That's one of the things that drove me nuts.  No one fights wars like
that in reality.  Joseph already gave the example of Allies bombing
industrial and population centers in Europe and Japan.  Avoiding
current examples, Bill Clinton directed bombing of civilian TV, radio,
telephone and electricity infrastructure without warning.  Old Bill
also bombed a alleged chemical weapon plant (turned out to be bogus
intel, again), the civilian factory workers were also treated as legit
target.

The worst example in G00 was the bombing of narcotic field while
leaving the narcotic farmers alive.

Childish as GI Joe.
