[Max in Utah]

This is sort of an odd recollection to pop into one’s mind at a time like this, but I remember in some of my readings of soldier accounts from U.S. Civil War that shooting a posted sentry was essentially regarded as murder. This was because the sentry was required to maintain his exposed post...

Not at all odd, but fitting. Cpl. Cirillo was also standing a post, exposed to whatever dangers came his way.

The vast majority of soldiers in the Civil War were believing Christians and Jews who would not knowingly commit cold-blooded murder, most unlike the muslim lunatic who committed this atrocity in Ottawa. Any concept of morality in islam only applies to other muslims.

Our Civil War soldiers - both sides - were overwhelmingly decent people. I so honor their sacrifice as well as this young soldier’s.
