We are at war.
People shoot each other in war. Fortunately in this video, we see our guys shooting the same kind of rat bastard who cut off that poor woman's head.
The choice is not shades of gray. it is either we win or they win.
I choose us.
I chosse not to second guess our guys who are well trained and experienced in battle when faced with an extrememly dangerous situation.
The faster we can kill them, and the more of them we can kill, the faster they will be defeated.
This soldier made a split-second decision, based on his experience.
He is alive to talk about it.
I don't brush that off, and he will have to live with the memory of blowing that guy's head off for the rest of his life.
BUT I am not going to condemn him, or this war, because of the choice he made.
Make your choice...or don't.
