"Hey, you need to go out there and you guys gotta start getting kills"
Just crying after reading the first page only. Stopped reading.
The people who are saying the above, making other soldiers kill people, have gone so far they are lost. -- I only hope our police departments don't hire them; then we are lost; but I think they are hiring them.
As I understand it, soldiers in training are taught to use their heads and not act on illegal, immoral or irrational orders. When they kill someone who is a civilian, who is no threat, yes they should be punished. But let's see, for a change, the people who give the orders, from as high up as necessary, be punished far more.
