I can assure you there is a world of difference between killing in a fight and shooting prisoners after the fact.Just because people like the murderer, doesnt make the murder less evil, or reduce his culpability for it.And yes, people in war do terrible things. Killing a lot tends to desensitise you, and you're afraid and angry. People do evil things in war. Good people. In my view that makes them evil.I've seen it happen.Its why we dont lock up petty criminals in prisons unless its a last resort. We know all too well that they'll tend to come out worse people than they were when they went in.And just because a good man becomes evil (say a good man, who does terrible things in war) it doesnt mean he cant show remorse, seek redemption and become a good man again.The door swings both ways.</blockquote>
