I typed "execution" because it was easier than typing "one
soldier..." and it was a bit less grammatically awkward than saying
"So you think pictures of one soldier shooting another in the head are
noble?"  The meaning is the same in either case.

By now I have no idea what point you might be trying to make, or even if
you are trying to make one.
