Killing, beating and humiliating monks

The tyrannical military government in Myanmar(Burma) has implemented it’s threat to ‘crack down’ on the Buddhist monks who’ve been joining in the protests.

I wonder how it feels to be a soldier, opening fire on monks peacefully marching in protest of gross injustice? How does one justify such an action? Did any of them blanch, refuse to shoot? Were any of them appalled at breaking into a monastery and beating, humiliating and abusing the abbot and monks? How horrible, to carry the egregious karma resulting from such choices and actions.
