I will first agree that there is a difference between killing in a military or self-defense situation and murder. Next I would ask has anyone here had any contact with someone who had commited murder, as I have. He was a young man, not 18 years old and the opinion of the police officer I spoke to was that he would not see his 18th birthday, all over $30.00 The odd thing was that the Missouri police didn't know the victim was dead till 2 weeks later when they were tracking down a car involved in a wreck. The young man was very personable and polite and in talking to him didn't give me any qualms about letting my 15 year old daughter get into the car with him and her boyfriend, He was the same even after the arrest and seeing him manacled and in custody. I guess it shows that you can't judge a book by it's cover and the events didn't seem to have any effect on him. From what I have seen and heard about military personal they are more effected by death than this young man was. Oh FYI. he killed the man with a knife which would seem to be a much more close up and personal act.
