A good soldier knows how to keep his wits about him and use wisdom in his decisions. Judgement is not yours to deal out in anybody's name. I am more than grateful for those who fight for peace and justice for our country, but I am disturbed when I hear about a soldier going around with an attitude like this.
I admit, I could not do it. I would not be able to have my wits about me in such a situation, were I to be in combat. I think it is extremely brave what you are doing because you believe in our country's freedom and I am thankful for it. Please don't get me wrong on that.
But there is something about what you said I don't understand. Actually, I guess I kind of do understand. Could you explain to me this type of thinking, though? What I guess I'm wondering is what is your personal reason for joining the military? Was one of the main reasons getting revenge? I have a strong belief in the idea that today's soldier has to be a completely different type of soldier than he/she was some odd decades ago. Your job is to protect freedom and peace and in my opinion, along with many others these days, that involves keeping the peace where you are stationed. I hope you have the patience. I can't say I wuld apologize if you never got to pull the trigger on somebody in your entire military career, to be honest.
