You're right, a soldier is expected to use deadly force and if he does not will have deadly force in the form of a court martial used against him. What if he has a change of conscience and no longer wants to fight for the big boss? Or like The Good Soldier Svejk puts on a Russian uniform to see what it feels like to wear one. Is he deserving of death? I agree with your # 1 but few would agree with you being a judge, jury and executioner. # 2 I also agree with but many shop store owners have found themselves up on murder charges for defending their property. # 4 the courts via the government and sometimes the church have carved out this right for themselves but heinous in some ages has meant consorting with the devil. Times change and as far as I know it is perfectly legal to consort with the devil but this may change again. What will we do then?
