I understand, and what Im saying is that Im thankful for the people that keep a cool enough head for taking prisoners, because Im unsure Id be able to, in their situation. Its easy to forget civility and law when fighting for the survival of yourself and those closest to you, and taking a realistic introspective, I could see how I would forget them myself. Again, glad not to be over there.
Its simple to say, 'Yeah, well, Im not like you.' Perhaps. But in terms of torture, Milgram's experiment prove that the capacity to torture is in everyone, whether under threat of death, under orders, or simply out of some sense of anger or glee, whatever motivated those soldiers who tortured the Iraqis. I can say that it may take more than my personal feelings to kill the enemy, (and though they may not be soldiers, anyone taking shots at me is my enemy) but I cant say that it isnt possible. Sadly.
