Maybe they're not aware their fellow captives have already been beheaded before them. Maybe they take them out to practice a few times before the actual beheading and they're not sure this one is the one. Otherwise I can't imagine just kneeling stoically like that.
Unless you were held captive for months, tortured, and gone through "mock" executions, you'd have no idea how you'd react.
(Also, anyone who tried to resist would probably have just been shot and the footage would never make it the wider world. Taping the beheadings are yet another tool of the terrorists.)
OP, please show more compassion for these poor men and their grieving families. And don't judge them on how they spent their last few moments alive. It's extremely disrespectful.
