‘They should all be evacuated in body bags’

From a Reuters report on the attitudes of the Assad soldiers during the evacuation of the Old City of Homs:

“That’s them, that’s them, the bastards,” one soldier was overheard telling another, raising his phone high for a better shot of the men getting off a bus that had ferried them and others from the besieged city.

“They should all be evacuated in body bags,” said another, before the city governor, overseeing implementation of a humanitarian ceasefire, told them to stop. “Put your phones down now. Put your phones down now,” he shouted over a megaphone.
