I have no problems with your moral objections, but as a matter of practicallity, I would have to assume that a soldier rarely has time to consider the morality of his actions until well after the fact. I can only imagine the sheer chaos of being in an urban battle. I would certainly think fear and self-preservation would override any internal debate of the morality of each individual action. Again having never been in anything that I think could even come close to replicating the terrifying stream of emotions and thoughts that must run through those guys I feel wholly unquallified to make any substantial remark for or against them.
