The First Casualty of War (Warning: graphic)

Yes good point. All soldiers are paid killers. Always have been and always will be. I'd like to make sure that ours are the best. Because there will always be aggressors like Gingus Khan just waiting for a resource rich nation to lower its sword first. As long as there are humans, there will be a need for trained soldiers.

For instance, Chamberlain had your sentiment and it took Churchill so many years to right the world after so many people had died needlessly. Wishing we can all get along doesn't make it so. Sometimes it takes the threat of war to stave it off. Sometimes it takes killing all of the aggressors, including their children to give the next generation the opportunity to have a lasting peace. Freedon isn't free. And that's not just a cliche.

I'd bet that most if not all peace-nicks eat some form of animal; steak, burger, eggs, jello (yes jello) but have no idea how it makes its way to their plate. These are the same people that hold candles and sing hymms hoping the violence will stop. For one week, I'd like to have open season on criminals. Shoot them on sight. Then we'd have a century of peace. Instead we warehouse them with cable tv, 3 great meals and sex change operations. Argh! When will we get back to eye for and eye justice.

Dreaming of peace is for children. War is a fact of life. Let the adults do their job.

So when truely evil groups decide that they want your women and children as their sex slaves, we lay down our arms and say "come on down, the price is right!"

OP is a delusional douche, unicorn glitter spreading, group hug loving,drum circle enthusiast,naive fuckstick. Why don't you put on your Birkenstocks jump in your Prius and drive to Canada and seek citizenship there? They have unfortunately gone the peacenik PC Care Bear route in the last 30 years so they'll welcome your ass. Scouts out!

You know it sounds to me that he is suffering from having actually been there as a soldier and questioning in retrospect that actions of things that could not have been prevented.

Sometimes "rolling hand grenades into children's rooms" is unpreventable. Civilian casualties are a fact of war.

You simply have to move on with life. Focus is a choice. We can focus on negative events in our life that we couldn't prevent, or we can focus on the good aspects of life. A beer. Sailing, kayaking, whatever. Or focus on the fact that children in war zones wind up dead. Illegal killing and accidental killings in combat are NOT the same thing. One is a premeditated act, and the other is an unplanned accident for which we are not accountable.

if it was your children in the room with the hand grenade you would think completely different would you not?

Who said people should not be allowed to defend themselves?

Maybe you should understand what is being said before making a comment that has no relevance to the thread.

Your twisted 'utopia' seems to be that a peaceful and good world will come about by slaughtering a whole bunch of people who have never done anything to you.

Sometime it is best to take the fight to THEIR SOIL, and yes, their women and children will die. Either that or it happens on OUR SOIL, and OUR women and children will die.

I did watch the entire video and head-in-the-clouds utopia is the vision that serves as the foundation for the premise. Grow up.
