There is a saying “big boys rules” if you engage in activities that result in the loss of life you must take your medicine, you can’t be planning or killing with no thought of your intended victims then as soon as you are caught expect to be treated with respect, this is not a conventional war those who participate in it should expect no mercy and those who do not should stay out of it. Ethics do not work in war it is only the foolish who think there is honour in conflict or a correct way to kill someone. to protect the way of life enjoyed in the west, it requires certain people to pay the price for those who do not wish to dirty their hands, we who have been involved in fighting in a conflict carry the guilt with us in the name of freedom.
