^^^^^ This is what makes me angry at the far right Rambo nuts. It is one thing to say to oneself, "It's them or me". That is bad enough, but like I said, it isn't something to relish in, and that quote reveals the reality of the real compassion that it is something you really don't want to do.
It is the same as that Japanese pilot I quoted in another thread who was in on the Pearl Harbor raid. He realized at that moment, he was killing his fellow human beings. Again, it isn't that you can have a perfect world where nobody fights, but it is heartening to see that sometimes, despite the differences in friends and foe's governments, there is an evolutionary humanity, that shows up in places we don't always expect.
It is good to remember that the people over there are Human too. It's a problem the American government has regarding Yemen and Palestinians right now.
