There are some hard bright lines and murder is one of them. It’s one that I’ve been dismayed many progressive have in recent times decided they could overlook, if the right people suffer, if the right ends are advanced through the means of a human life. Please stop trying to obscure this line.
I’m not saying murder is fine. I just can’t agree that your generalization is true. There are many different ways to end up in armed forces and be forced to kill other people.
If a person has been in that situation, we can’t just assign them into a “murderer” group and try to placate them for everything that is going wrong. That is how we got to the current far-right ‘conservative’ support rise in almost every country. Instead, we should approach those people and try to educate them on how they were wronged by the current state of affairs. Then, together, we have a chance to make things better.
I’m pretty sure that if you ask, 99% of veterans won’t tell you that they enjoyed murdering people or think that that is ok. Usually they become very sad and/or exhibit PTSD symptoms.
