If you are a local leo and you participate in taking out a family member in a gun raid you made your choice. You and your family have to live among the people’s relatives you just murdered. How long before human nature takes it’s natural course?
I’m baffled by your post:
‘If you are a local leo and you participate in taking out a family member in a gun raid you made your choice. You and your family have to live among the people’s relatives you just murdered. How long before human nature takes it’s natural course?’
Are you referring to military who are ordered to kill civilians?
Over the long haul I absolutely agree. The military could be dragooned into viewing civilians
as ‘terrorists’, ‘insurgents’, etc. Some propaganda video could be aimed directly at them. I won’t go into specifics — no more ideas for the other side.
But over time they lose respect for any leadership that seems too willing. They begin to respect the officer who rolls his eyes or makes faces — any kind of signal that he’s not mentally on board.
