So, by that reasoning a murderer deserves mercy since: “by this timeit no longer matters!!!”.

It is called justice, yah moron. Allow for evacuation time and then shoot everyone remaining. Assume no one is innocent.

Children were burned alive, toddlers shot in car seats and cribs, parents tied up and tortured in front of their children, their eyes, feet, fingers, and hands cut off. Women were raped on the corpses of their dead friends before being executed, the elderly shot in their living rooms. And much of it was live streamed by terrorists who were exceedingly proud of their work, as they perpetrated a massacre that was proportionally multitudes larger than the Sept. 11, 2001 terrorist attacks.

The Washington Post sucks. And so do the idiots at our college indoctrination centers doing their stupid protests in favor of evil.

“Sorry, but this is as plain as it gets.”

The passage you include is not an example of revenge in my opinion, but your passage doesn’t say what is done to the braves after they are hunted down.

Revenge is a form of punishment. Punishment is used in civilized societies. Guess it’s a matter of degree. Killing innocents is not acceptable by civilized people.

There’s the military logic that, for example, killing (sacrificing) ten people to save 100 is acceptable.

The braves were engaged in battle and killed, captured or run off. Frequently their village would be razed as well which often included deaths of non-combatants.

These attacks/revenge attacks continued until one or the other prevailed. There was also assimilation (as we also see in Israel) but overall the aggressive, dynamic borders group lost in the end.
