But yes, even US soldiers are trained to "execute" the enemy "with cold blooded efficiency" and at best, "expressionless" faces

Hmmm, I still disagree. American soldiers are trained to kill the enemy in combat, not slaughter civilians execution style. There's a big difference between a firefight and walking around a building picking off unarmed prey.

But that's fine. We're all entitled to our opinions. Hoorah.

I didn't say that American soldiers were trained to "slaughter" innocent "civilians" or that there's no moral difference as per your mentioned scenario. Sadly, our argument is getting to be rather circular. It appears that I did somehow touch a nerve.

Private ownership of firearms is illegal in China. Before the current media play is done, that's all that the general public will need to know in order to reject the DV story as being true or of primary importance.

I haven't appreciated seeing PLA troops coming into our universities through the efforts and/or lack of discipline of Vietnam-era administrators and commanders. ...good day.
