I’m seeing two kinds of moral imbeciles here:
The ones who can’t tell the difference between the head-choppers who slaughter innocents and the men who stop them.
And the ones who can tell the difference and they side with the head-choppers.
In fighting the enemy, let’s be sure we do not become like him. A soldier’s job, his duty, is to kill the enemy. But God help him if he enjoys it.
General MacArthur insisted that the soldier is not a warmonger.
Moral equivalence at work. Here is an absurd example:
A woman is in the path of an oncoming bus. A man pushes her to safety out of the path of the bus.
A man pushes a woman into the path of an oncoming bus. The woman dies.
There is no difference between the two men, since both men pushed as woman.
That is an example of moral equivalence.
