Was hoping I wouldn't have to make this warning, but jesus christ you guys just can't help yourselves, can you?!? I'm disappointed, but not surprised. Anyways... This thread is about this particular act/individual, and doesn't need to turn into a flame fest about the merits of the war, wars in general, or to bash nations. See if you can control yourselves. | ||

Killing a taliban is not a life lost in my opinion. Especially not when they're trying to kill you. If someone is shooting at wounded soldiers or whatever, their life doesnt really mean anything to me. | ||

When you don't consider your enemies as being humans anymore, you are in serious trouble. And the idea that life of some people doesn't have any value is... disturbing, for the least. | ||

But when taliban warriors, who already have sort of a bad rep, are trying to kill wounded soldiers then i dont think you should really care about them. And i would not consider their lives lost a bad thing. Obviously you should never kill someone if it can be avoided, but in this case i dont think that is a possibility. | ||

And the idea that life of some people doesn't have any value is... disturbing, for the least. Don't be overcorrect, if you'd be there you would think exactly like Deadlyfish. If you're in favor of your enemy, who would kill you as soon as he sees you, you're doing it wrong as a soldier. At least in modern wars (Iraq and Afghanistan), where you don't know if it's a civilian or a Taliban. War is bad, and really disturbing and terrific actions are done on both sides. IMO you can't look away in a part of the world where bad things happen, and to help this country it's for me okay to use the military to get peace in this country (like e.g. in Iraq, the situation there is getting better). For this we need people (or "heroes") like Mr.Meyer! But why don't we (or rather the US and UK army, since the rest of europe doesn't do much) for example help in Sri Lanka or the dozen of african countries where civil wars are going on? It's interesting, because these countries don't have much economical potential. I'm just asking this question since I haven't heard a reasonable answer to it. | ||

Your first point is just not true.. http://history1900s.about.com/od/1910s/a/christmastruce.htm and well, to your point with the african countries, its not really related to the thread. | ||
