Good point, there will be times that the media is 
not there and the only witnesses will be that of 
the soldiers. I know there are a number of cases 
of ghastly incidents in African colonies. I 
believe the Germans and Belgians had some serious 
incidents. The Japanese surely did. One wonders 
how the ESU or NSL would handle certain problems 
in far flung areas given the tone of those 
nation's peoples. I suspect behavior will 
generally depend on the comportment of the 
soldiers and their culture as well as the 
divisions between that culture and others.
