So Should I Feel Bad For Israeli Soldiers Killed On Lebanese Land?

[DistressedAmerican]

Do they not deserve whatever they get if they follow the immoral orders to cross the border and expand the slaughter rather than refusing them?

There are conscientious objectors that are refusing to fight. Those are the ones that I feel for. I'm sure it is costing them.

I gotta say I'm having a hard time mustering anymore sympathy here for the trigger pullers.

Is that wrong or do they deserve pretty much what they get as the aggressors?

1. I feel for any human killed

[aquart]

2. Nah. Feel good about it. Feel great.

Why do you need permission to do what you want to do?

[DistressedAmerican]

10. Who said I felt great about it ? Point it out of STFU.

Quite simple. Do not put bullshit in my mouth that I neither said nor meant. There is a big difference between what I said and your bullshit, smear of a reply. Stop being so dishonest. I am a bit fucking sick of those stupid lies and smears. If that is all you have to offer, kindly shove it.

3. Funny, you don't thing Hezbollah "Deserves what thet get"

do you?

[liberal N proud]

8. Israel is bombing Lebanon citizens

When they wipe out an innocent family, they claim that Hezbollah was using them as human shields.

Who initiated the attack?

4. This may sound crass....but don't you feel for

American soldiers who are killed in Iraq? In Israel there is universal conscription unlike the US which has an all volunteer army. Also in Israel, even after serving two years people are considered reservists for many years.

Yes, I feel for any loss of life.

[DistressedAmerican]

12. I feel they should also be refusing the orders. If they don't, they are

part of the crimes being comitted. Sad but true. They all have the option to refuse the service.

Univesal conscription os no excuse when there ARE people refusing to fight. Conscription does not mean a thing to a resister. Look at Canada during Vietnam.

If you are committed to peace, you do not kill. Simple really.

5. War is war

Feel bad for whoever you want to. If an Israeli dies, I'll feel bad for him/het. If a Hezbollah fighter gets toasted, I won't feel bad for him. But that's just me. Other peoples' emotions may be different.

6. The choice appears

to be between compassion and a hardened heart.

[DistressedAmerican]

14. Not at all. It is about responsibility.

If a bank robber gets shot during the robbery, I can't say I'd feel bad for him. I do not find that a hardened heart, I find that accountability.

These folks have a choice, show up and kill of refuse.

[H2O Man]

16. Sad.

Very sad to read that.

[DistressedAmerican]

17. How so?

[kenny blankenship]

7. yes you should- they are kids (most) dragged into this by so-called adults

[DistressedAmerican]

15. There is the best argument on this thread.

That I DO feel some sympathy for.

[DireStrike]

9. They're pawns mostly, totally indoctrinated.

Saying soldiers shouldn't follow "immoral orders" is easy. Not following immoral orders is damn near impossible.

Didn't we learn that after Vietnam?

[bdamomma]

11. apparently we haven't learn a thing

how many more of our soldiers have to die???? we just have an jerk in the WH who wants to see death and destruction and fuck everything else.

[sandnsea]

13. No, feel bad for puppies in China

That's the latest hooha on DU today.
