I say, if you're fighting for your country in a war, expect people to get killed because that's what's supposed to happen. I don't think that killing another person to save your country is wrong. It's definately not murder, because both participants in the war are killing eachothers men. This can go both ways.


I agree. I think people are killed in war, though, not really murdered. -shrug-

I feel that the killing or for specific terms, murder of one soldier by another soldier is justified. The soldier is protecting our society, he is protecting our individual rights as a citizen of a certain country. If I've forgotten more then tell me. But I'm sure you all have the point. I feel that it's justified, but some people don't.

If a citizen or ordinary person killed or murdered another person to save another person from losing his life is he right?


Well I can say it all depends on the situation, You can't deny that some wars were useless and not worth fighting for, would you justify that our country murdered our men or would you blame that the other country killed our men. Alot of people think differently and alot of people don't see the view points of others. Everybody's life is worth living for and maybe saving for. You can't though judge the value of a person's life. Some act on instinct that it may be the right thing to do to save another one's life in risking your own. While others may think that your life is more valuable than theirs that you shouldn't do anything to prevent the victim from being killed. If I were to be put in a situation where my life would be in danger in saving another I would take the risk in saving that one's life, I would rather feel as if I tried to save someone, than just stare at a person get killed. It's neither right or wrong decision, it depends on the person but I also believe that it's an instinct that we were born with.

War.... I don't think that soldiers killing people that are endangering their lives are murderous. They are merely defending our country/themselves/others.

Some people mentioned the war in Iraq. We aren't murdering people in Iraq. We aren't attacking civilians. We are attacking the people that are murdering the citizens of their own country.

Personally, I think we should pull out and let God handle it before we catch an STD.

Actually, there has been plenty of cases where a soldier kills someone who's innocent. There's been men tried for murder during the war. Some soldiers also do inhuman things to "pass the time" while in Iraq...

Those men are put on trial for "war crimes". You can murder someone in any situation. I think that the killing Jake is talking about occurs when a soldier kills an enemy soldier.
