Easy to say, as militaries are supposed to follow orders,but they're as human as you and I. I suspect if the Coast Guard was order to let people drown, there would be a lot more insubordination, and/or a lot less Coast Guards.
There's a reason the vast majority of Italian Carabinieri are from Mezzogiorno. Around 3 in 4 come from not just the south but especially Sicily, Campania and Calabria.
I suppose the same is true of the Armed Forces as a whole.
I believe the BBC did an article on a town in Emilia-Romagna, northern Italy, where the entire Carabinieri force is from Campania, region of Naples.
To put this into a better analogy - imagine if the entire CBP on Mexico's border are Evangelicals from Deep South.
They really don't care. And given that they see what illegal migration has done to their hometowns, they are likely not to care even more.
