Sure it's unfortunate, but the soldier surely had no way of knowing that it was just a friendly person who was in a hurry or something and didn't feel like stopping, and not someone getting ready to explode things.
It's like if I were to just walk into Area 51 and ignore the signs saying I'll be shot on sight.
