Bit harsh. The three marines are identified as being volunteers, there for training purposes. I'd have thought their contribution to the NGO Golden West Humanitarian Foundation was worthwhile, and certainly not deserving of this maiming.

The volunteer trainers, who arrived in Cambodia just days earlier, had hosted the month-long course for only a day when the accident occurred

They have my sympathy, if not yours.

They have my sympathy and best wishes too; these guys were involved in a humanitarian effort removing these bombs, not planting them. They were likely children or not even born yet when those bombs were dropped.

Besides, I cannot help but admire anyone who has the balls to do that kind of work.
