That’s what is so glaring about this. It’s so so obviously just for show. Just to intimidate and posture. They are not seriously concerned about their own safety. They feel 100% safe doing this. They are raiding a house that they are quite certain does not contain any hostiles. If they believed it did, they would be WATCHING FOR THEM and not lined up in an orderly line waiting to get MOWED DOWN BY LITERALLY ANYONE.

Incompetence.

But the children and wives will suffer for his living. He will abuse them to assuage his own grief and guilt. Better that he dies and and is forgotten. Not what he did, but the man, forgotten.
