15. Yes, it seems like a small-scale version of the Nanjing massacre, which

didn't START as a mass slaughter of civilians, but as a search for the remnants of Chiang Kai-shek's army. Once they'd gotten all the obvious soldiers, the Japanese thought they'd better get all the men who could possibly be soldiers, and then any family members who tried to protect them, and pretty soon they were killing everyone in sight.

I'm not equating the two incidents, just pointing out that these tactics have a way of getting out of control.
