Quote:One does not simply abandon one's principles.
Is violence a moral means to an end,as a principle? Sometimes. Is war moral,in principle? No, I do not believe so. So what? I need to respond to what is,no to the way I would like things to be.
When it comes down to personal survival, I am not not willing to sit on any moral high horse,from which I will be shot off, becoming very dead.
Are soldiers immoral, in killing others in war? A profound moral question for which I have no answer and for which there is no consensus. The question of whether this person or that is a soldier is a semantic quibble and no true Scotsman fallacy. (and reveals a risible ignorance of the army its culture)
Above all,morality is a survival tool,based on pragmatism;is is subjective and constantly changing.
