DP is the one thing that once done - cannot be undone. I would be opposed to it on ideological grounds even if we were perfect with our convictions. Since we are demonstrably not perfect in our convictions (and have, in fact, executed men that had been thoroughly exonerated by evidence...after having been presented with this evidence - and excusing ourselves with "well, a jury of his peers convicted him") I don't need to invoke those ideological grounds. The dp fails to deliver and fails to live up to our expectations of the justice system.
Now, as to my ideological opposition. Howsabout we leave state sanctioned killing on the battlefield?

I am the Infantry. I am my country’s strength in war, her deterrent in peace. I am the heart of the fight… wherever, whenever. I carry America’s faith and honor against her enemies. I am the Queen of Battle. I am what my country expects me to be, the best trained Soldier in the world. In the race for victory, I am swift, determined, and courageous, armed with a fierce will to win. Never will I fail my country’s trust. Always I fight on…through the foe, to the objective, to triumph overall. If necessary, I will fight to my death. By my steadfast courage, I have won more than 200 years of freedom. I yield not to weakness, to hunger, to cowardice, to fatigue, to superior odds, For I am mentally tough, physically strong, and morally straight. I forsake not, my country, my mission, my comrades, my sacred duty. I am relentless. I am always there, now and forever. I AM THE INFANTRY! FOLLOW ME!
