As I wrote, as long as it isn’t in self-defense it’s morally wrong. If someone attacks you or the ones around you, you have the right to protect yourself.
Even if you are “brainwashed” will you still be guilty of killing. Because it’s not a job that has to be done. If you freely join the gang called army and kill people as a job you are acting wrong. Because there is no justification for murder.
At the end they are still killers!
but since they are brainwashed, they can't tell whether what they are doing is a crime or not. People brainwashing them should be held accountable. Its easy to make people think a certain way, certainly if that is also a source of livelihood. This idea of war and fighting for one's country or kingdom is as old as the civilizations started to exist. I don't think its that simple.
Of course nothing is simple.
But Brainwashed or not, it’s still Killing!
And even if the idea of war is old, it doesn’t make it right!
yeah, but your whole post was about the soldier being the killer, not whether war is murder. of course war is murder and killing is wrong. and just for the effect, here are a few !!!!!
You were saying that the idea of war and fighting is old. I just stated that that is still no excuse for any killing.
