Probably a well trained military crewman who knows how to follow orders from the guys up top who ~~should~~ have already done the vetting of the information. Can't fault them.
Yeah, if you're a trigger puller you assume you've been assigned legitimate military targets. When the "sights" you're aiming down are an ISR feed from a satellite, drone or just GPS coordinates, it can be difficult to verify the building you've locked is a school or headquarters of something. Complicated by the pace of attack this administration demanded.
