This is not easy to think about, but, just because it wasn't your cause doen't mean there were not heroes. Bravery is not measure in the success of the cause, this is a diffifcult distinction.

Yep I like to remind people in most wars the average soldier is conscripted. With the penalty for leaving it running being death.

At what point do we expect the individual to forfeit their life for their morals? There’s no straightforward answer to this, but it does murky the waters around good or bad in any given conflict. I wouldn’t use this absolve all crimes either, if just makes it difficult

  The amount of “why aren’t Americans just going out, buying guns, and shooting suspected ice agents” has me think too many aren’t thinking through this question rationally, unfortunately
