Re <<stuff like this happens at war -- human lives get devalued. Happens in every war, I guess>> Well said! War is an unfortunate scenario which one would hope humanity had outgrown, but clearly not. Wars can not be sanitized regardless of who's side you are on. Re << It is difficult for me to see what the circumstances might have been that would have made it appropriate>> I don't know, we recruit a young guy into the army, train him to kill, give him weapon and send him to war. Then place him in urban combat as he watches his buddies being blown away as well as the enemy. Himself close to death several times but he was able to kill before he got killed. What he did was "appropriate" considering the circumstances. Why should he care about another human being's life, there are dead humans all over the place. Is it reasonable to expect anything different? I think he is going to walk and I think he should. Mani
