  1. Interesting how it's okay to kill when the government DIRECTS you to do so (as in war) for whatever dubious reason, but if you do it on your OWN initiative, you're in deep doo doo. Any wonder why some war veterans might naturally get confused about this?

  2. Harsh, harsh and true. Murder is Murder, by man or state, I missed you!

  3. Its a dangerous business teaching a man to kill, or die, but so profitable

  4. The incidence of war veterans going so-called 'Troppo' over the last few decades (and maybe even prior to that) is extraordinary. And yet, this doesn't seem to ever be properly considered in the sentencing and condemnation...
