Reply #18: But killing is what the military does. Signing up declares that willingnes

[JohnOneillsMemory]

Maybe you don't like the implication that he WANTED to kill Arabs. Fair enough. But these tiny frames are symbols of larger concepts which are in the eye of the beholder. If you accept that people join the military today to 'defend our freedoms against Arab terrorists,' then they obviously want to kill Arabs.

But the distinction between 'wanting' to kill and 'dutifully' killing is a false distinction to the dead Arabs, isn't it?

Maybe, just maybe...Rall implies 'live by the sword, die by the sword.'

Is that a condemnation or merely stating an inescapable truism which is tragic?

It seems to me that people who are angry about Rall's cartoon are not willing to accept that signing up with the US military when it is invading countries is taking steps to intentionally kill people.

Why deny this? How is it even possible to deny this? And this has moral implications. I'm not saying what they are but they involve killing.
