but... but... the sense of necessity that I attribute to my nation's military's moral ambivalence during wartime makes me feel vital and feeds a personal sense of urgency that makes my life seem more interesting. It's, like, life or death, man. And if we don't torture and convict people to send messages to other people who might dislike us for, among other things, our casual wartime disregard for human rights, then we're all going to get killed by terrorists and then they will laugh at us, but maybe not in that order.
