re: #474 jamesfirecat

To be fair there’s a difference between celebrating the murder of civilians and celebrating the murder of an enemy leader who has taken up arms against you, even if it was done via a sneak attack.

There is a lot of difference in fact.

So to try and draw a direct comparison between one and the other is a grave mistake in my ipnion.

This is true, the difference that is.

However, just to me, it still feels inappropriate, and it still won’t be anything I can condone. I’ll save my exuberant, shot-taking, street dancing, flag-waving celebrating for when our troops come home and we’re out of Afghanistan and/or Iraq. But not for someone dying.
