In war, killing is a necessary evil. ... But I do not believe our honor of him should focus upon the evil, regardless of how necessary. Instead it should focus on his heroism, courage, and all that he endured for his country. by Karl D. Smith.

I wonder how one becomes a military hero without, in one way or another, killing the enemy.

While I never killed anyone during my service, if I did - I would never call that act evil!
