Does the fact that he's a soldier make it more or less repulsive to you? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GoldenRuski Posted May 30, 2013 Share Posted May 30, 2013 Does the fact that he's a soldier make it more or less repulsive to you? Yes, as you think a soldier would be safe in his home town wouldn't you? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You see the same sentiments in a lot of movies related to war (Saving Private Ryan has a nice line that's very similar). When a people feel they are "at war", the first casualties are not usually the civilian population, but marked soldiers/law enforcement. It's why 9-11 saw the Pentagon attacked as opposed to a local school. Question is whether or not that expectation is preferable to having our civilians targeted. People are at arms over this, but even then it is somewhat "according to plan" (to take a phrase from the Dark Knight, another movie that touches this subject). Yet, if they had attacked a school or workplace in the name is Islam, we'd have people calling for war against a target they could not identify (9-11).

I don't think I said whether or not the attack would be more horrifying if it was upon a soldier, than if it were to occur on an innocent civilian, no matter who the victim is, it will forever be an act of brutality. The question does arise though, where would a soldier be safe? It seems to be that they do not even have security within the countries they fight for. But according to reports the attack was a form of retaliation, "an eye for an eye" so to speak, so I see at the angle you're trying to get at, poorly worded though Yaoi, had to re-read it multiple times just to understand what you are saying.

You make a living out of butchering the American language. Nothing I write is ever poorly worded, unless I'm mocking the way Slowpoke talks. uwotm8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
