Emva kokuxoxa malunga nesiqingatha seyure kuphela, inkundla yabuya nesigwebo sokuba akanatyala kuzo zonke izityholo. Kwatsho intswahla yezandla enkundleni xa iijaji zibhengeze ngesi sigwebo. Aba bane batyholwa ngezityholo zokuphazamisa ulawulo lukarhulumente, ukuziphatha kakubi, kunye nokungena ngaphandle kwemvume yaye bagwetywa unyaka entolongweni. Emva kokuwiswa kwesigwebo, ijaji yaya kuBrian Hynes yathi, “Ndiyayixhasa ngenene le nto uyenzayo. Qhubeka uyenza.”

Ngexesha letyala, uBrian Hynes uxelele ijaji, "Eli ayisilotyala malunga neenyani eziphikiswayo, eli lityala elimalunga neentsingiselo eziphikiswayo." UHynes uqhubekile nokuchazela ijaji ukuba banako, ngamazwi e4^th ISekethe yeZibheno, bakhulule ngaso nasiphi na isizathu esibhenela kwingqiqo okanye ukuthanda kwabo. Kubungqina obunamandla, uJames Ricks uxelele ijaji malunga nokudibana neentsapho zamaxhoba e-drone kunye nokubona ukonakala kwemijukujelwa yesihogo somlilo. Iijaji zalila izihlandlo ezininzi. UDaniel Burns uthe, “Ngaba nabani na kuthi unokukubona kwamkelekile ukuba abantu esibathandayo bancanywe ngenxa yokuzikhusela kolunye uhlanga. Akunjalongo noko! Ngaphezu koko, ukuba iinqwelo-moya eziziinqwelo-moya bezijoliswe kubantwana bam lelinye ilizwe, ndingathemba ngamandla am onke ukuba abemi belo lizwe banokuzama ukunqanda izenzo ezingekho mthethweni nezokuziphatha okubi zelizwe labo.” U-Ed Kinane uxelele ijaji ngolwimi olucacileyo nolunamandla malunga nexesha lakhe lokuhlala e-Iraq ngexesha lemfazwe kunye noloyiko oluhlwayelwe ziidrones. Iingxoxo zokuvala zanikelwa ngamagqwetha uDaire Irwin noJonathon Wallace kwakunye noJames Ricks noBrian Hynes.
