Is there no good news in the world? There's precious little in this thread.

Yeah, well, garbage men do take on the job of being filthy. Some may hold a moral compass to that, but I do not.

On the other hand, many people hold a moral compass to the job of warrior. Many do not. I happen to, and I will hold anyone responsible for the decision to let others decide whom you should kill, torture, abuse, or maim - - especially when the other in question has ordered those like you to kill, torture, abuse and maim in a manner that would be considered criminal even in wartime.

I don't consider soldiers to be evil people because of this decision, but I do hold them individually and personally accountable for the choice to be an American soldier, which may lead to many evil deeds they would be unable to resist committing.
