i·so·lat·ed Audio pronunciation of "isolated" ( P ) Pronunciation Key (s-ltd)
adj.
Separated from others; solitary or singular: Reporters in the field observed isolated instances of rebellion.
Perhaps clarification is in order....This is an isolated incident, in that it has been seperated from the day to day warfare and death this area deals with.
These soldiers have been isolated from thier peers due to actions percieved as outside normal brutality associated with such warfare.
The word Isolated has been highlighted to make a point, which I had hoped would be clear when taken in the context of the response.....I was obviously mistaken.
