re: #52 Killgore Trout

Not true. If it were my family I would still place the blame on the insurgents for hiding among civilians. Unless there was gross negligence on the part of our military then the moral blame would be on the insurgents. While we’re flipping around hypothetical situations, let’s suppose our military disguised themselves as civilians and stationed themselves in villages and cities. Who would you blame for the resulting civilian casualties?

Would you?

Really?

Keep in the mind the insurgents look like you, speak your language, share your religion and very likely were people you gave known since childhood.

The people who killed your loved one are from a different country, have a very different culture and religious values and do not speak your language at all. They fly around in helicopters and blow stuff up, from your perspective, and your religious leaders whom your were raised to respect tell you that they hate your beliefs and are here to force you to bow to a foreign God.

Now, try your assumptions again…
