I'm sure that the Russians would agree.
Every nation agrees, yes. It's the kind of thing a nation claims a right to, because ofc they would.
The practical alternative is to let butchers butcher without so much as the hint of consequence provided they do so remotely. Kings used to run a similar con - where kings don't kill kings - as that would be uncouth. All the fighting and dying is for the little people in contained battlefields. It's all pretty terrible, any way we go with it - but we left the field of perfectly ethical situations and unconstrained ethical choices the minute we started talking about human conflict, didn't we? There's a good chance that there is no ethical resolution to some problems.
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!
