I pity both sides equally. The children for growing up without their biological parents, the family of the children for having to raise the children the best they can, the soldiers for realizing they killed innocent civilians and knowing they will have to live with that for the rest of their lives and last but not least the parent that wasn't driving for choosing a mate that obviously had little sense. Surely this wasn't the first checkpoint the driver had encountered. The driver surely knew he needed to stop at all checkpoints. To put it simply, I pity all of the people involved in this mishap except the driver. The driver put everyone in his vehicle in danger by refusing to stop. If there is any blame to be placed it lies solely with the driver. The real pity here is that the driver was killed after passing on obviously defective genes to five offspring. Pity it wasn't before.
