See thats where your line of combat and mine are not close to relating, as you have 0 experience and I have 5 years experience. A soldier kills an enemy on a battlefield, thats right. A soldier kills an insurgent in an occupied city, thats right. A soldier kills a possible terrorist at a checkpoint, that is wrong or right? An undercover operative, military trained, kills a terrorist cell in an unknown country, is that wrong or right? A special forces team kills a terrorist cell while they are plotting an attack, is that wrong or right? A cover operative detains and interrogates an enemy insurgent who has information that could save hundreds of Iraqi civilians, he uses extremes to get information, is that wrong or right? A SEAL team finds and detains a high ranking terrorist and do what they have to do to stop a nuke attack on a major city, is that wrong or right?

IMHO all of the above are right. Why they are right is simple, no loss of civilian lives. The moment someone picks up a weapon, sells a weapon, trades a weapon, helps plot, etc. with terrorists/insurgents/ etc. they are enemies and are due for a bullet. Now I won't say those that cooperate are enemies because our enemies don't follow any rules and will murder entire families to make someone cooperate, they will not hesitate to kill. I have seen what happens when an insurgent straps a bomb to his chest and blows himself in a crowd of people, I have seen what happens when a couple of terrorists drive a car to a check point loaded with explosives and set it off. They have no care for us or innocent life, they expect that the innocents are supposed to die to bring about their cause. Now where you stop seeing these vermin as enemies is beyond me, but I am curious to know how you draw your conclusion that some murderers deserve to die and some do not.
