There is no context. The quote stands alone. Unless, you put it with the following sentence.
Quote:

"When you don't know who the enemy is, what are you doing there?" asked the former Marine, later honourably discharged from the service with severe depression and post traumatic stress disorder.

Do you know any soldiers? Ask them who the enemy is. They know.
Collateral damage and accidents do happen, but that's not why Massey is in Canada. He's in Canada to testify on behalf of a man who is "claiming refugee status based on his contention that he was right to refuse to fight in a war which he says was
illegal and violated human rights and the Geneva Conventions." If, as he says, men under his command killed "30 plus" civilians, it was either accidental or he should be prosecuted. By virtue of the fact that he went to Canada to testify, I would assume that
he feels as if he broke the law.
