Mickjoebill – excuse me, since you raised the matter, I might understand your viewpoint, I think, but when I was watching that sequence - the unloading of the coffins, I found the trumpet call most moving and I venture to suggest, from my knowledge of the Netherlands, all there would have recognised immediately the meaning of the plangent notes, so well played, as a moving tribute to the innocents who died.

As a matter of interest, wiki asserts that Taps originates in Holland.

I agree with passegiata and very much doubt you see this grievous event in a military light. BTW, I’m not looking for a contretemps.
