Simply put I dont have simpathies for people who want me dead. So sorry.
If you really feel its such a terrible thing, maybe you shouldnt support things that glamorize war in the first place. Since obviously you must take a liking to SC2, you should realise that SC2 glamorizes war.
I accept there to be collateral damage, because I live in reality.
Maybe you should offer to be this kids big brother if he gets out... he can live with you and you can feed him.
lol that's not an unreasonable statement... few people would feel sympathy for someone who wanted to kill them.
StarCraft absolutely glamorizes war, as do the movies, the recruitment ads for the Canadian Forces, the Marines, the US Army, etc etc... but we're intelligent enough to know that there is very little glamor in war, right? I think we know where to draw the line between fiction (what we see in game) and reality (what we see when our friends bring home photos from their tours in Afghanistan, or Iraq).
So if you accept collateral damage, then you must accept that the combatants in Afghanistan have very few means to combat NATOs military supremacy, other than guerrilla tactics, yea? So things like sabotage, terrorism and fear mongering are tools to fight with. And if civilians die, that's collateral? Because they would be crushed if they went heads up against our hardware? What you're saying is, this is the war we're fighting, and that's the way they fight. So civilians are going to die on both sides... and that's acceptable to you?
A captured enemy playing down his knowledge and involvement in the enemy's activities? I am shocked and surprised that this highly unusual thing is playing out as part of this kid's tactics to keep his ass off the grill. /end sarcasm
This still has jack-all to do with him throwing a grenade that killed a medic and saying so that he did in court. He has also said he has no remorse over that action. He is an admitted enemy of the western nations, as a citizen of a western nation I do not want to see this kid ever set free again, he is a threat to my way of life. Sucks to be him.
Actually civialian causualties on our side really arnt acceptable to me. If it was up to me, I would nuke thier hold out positions with drones. Rather then just fire bomb them.
Call me a warmonger, meh I like to get the job done.
