Kinda? Filming with no other reason, no other commentary, than to reduce it to a cheap jape online or some element of personal amusement....
At least for myself, it falls under the set of 'Why would you want a record of this?' Whereas presumably people aren't - at least not often - jacking off or have a jolly good time over pictures of kids covered in napalm, or whatever, in the newest military adventure.
There are, unquestionably, those who do enjoy war videos just for the sake of some momentary vicarious adrenaline drip granted them by the suffering portrayed. You know, the videos that pop up from time to time with rock music over the gun cams of helicopters and the like. But ... wouldn't you find it slightly worrying if you found someone watching one? Or if it was shown on the 10 o'clock news as an item of amusement?
It's that sort of thing, at least to me. The recording implies really bad taste.
Whether that's a cultural thing (I'm british too) or whether it's a more general thing I don't know.
