The soldier, smoking a cigarette, matter-of-factly describes how he was instructed to slit the throats of Bosnians. "We practiced on pigs," he says, and then casually recounts how he actually slit the throats of several Bosnians. He also confesses to gang-raping a Bosnian woman, which he explains in a similarly bland way. He was ordered to rape, he says, for "morale" purposes.
