That's exactly what I see as wrong, though. It's okay to kill them if you don't care? Is it okay to think "Well, they were trying to kill me..." without recognizing that they could be saying the same of you had they pulled the trigger first?
We invaded Afghanistan. Some Afghanis are bad, some are good. A lot of the good ones took up arms because the invasion victimized them (collateral damage). They try to get the coalition forces out of their country, so we're justified in killing them? And all because the gubbmit said so?
