While on reconnaissance missions, Elvis said he witnessed atrocities firsthand, but was powerless to stop them.

"There have been plenty of times where I was observing them do really f***ed s**t and I just wanted to drop all of them," he said. "But you can't react, because that would have given us away, and that means death. So, unfortunately, you have to make a lot of hard decisions like that. A lot of people think in combat it's just shooting and dodging artillery, but no, it's also sitting and watching a lot of things that, in normal society, no one would see, and not being able to do anything to stop it."

エルビスは内偵調査で戦争犯罪を目撃したが、それを止める力はなかったと言う。

”僕が居る間だけでもアホみたいに犯罪を犯してました。一つ一つ指摘したかったけど、黙っているようだった。騒ぎ立てると自分たちがやられる、自分が殺されるって事だから。不幸な事につらい決断を何度もするようでした。
戦闘って言うのは、銃で撃ったり砲撃をよけたりって思うでしょう？それだけじゃないんです。日常では起こらないような事が目の前で起こってそれを見ていないといけない。おまけにそれを止めるすべがない”
