In all the news coverage of the Jordanian pilot being burned to death by ISIS, very little coverage mentions how ISIS' execution of the captured pilot was entirely symbolic as was made clear in the rest of the video. The pilot dropped bombs, the boms oblittered buildings in which men, women, and children resided. Some of these likely died in the fires which ensued. That ISIS "buried" the pilot in the very rubble he created dropping his bombs says the execution, and the means was totally symbollic. Yet we pretend like it's unjustified animalistic murder without any possible justification. It was totally justified. Or at least, as justified as our own dropping of bombs on civilian targets is and was.
In perhaps the most recognizable image of any war ever, US forces have done far worse than burn one responsible pilot to death for his actions.

Warning: graphic image at link (famous photo of the Vietnamese girl running down a road nude her clothes having been burned right off her body and screaming after US planes dropped naplam bombs on her village.)
So before letting a modern presentation of a captured pilot being executed in the same fashion some of his victims likely died upset you, remember we've donw much worse. Wanna be pissy about something be pissy about the hypocrisy of how US-led wars are being conducted these days.
