Soldiers life threatened by his own side.

The solution is not to shoot a man's hands off, regardless of what the consequences are it is still wrong to shoot a man.

Name me any sane human with a gun who could shoot someone to stop them from killing their child would not. Remember I SAID SANE.

It is not wrong to defend yourself. If evolution didn't contain the fight mechanism our species nor life at all would have evolved.

I'm pretty sure that I AM legally sane, at least I have not received any notification to the contrary. One does not simply abandon one's principles.

Evolution also contains the rape, steal and murder faculties but those aren't good. Once again we see that nature is not the defining factor for what is moral, thus we cannot consider the natural order to be the paramount moral determinant.
