also, have you ever asked that question when an American soldier gets charged?
Because 15 yr. olds should know right from wrong? That's what I got from reading the thread.
On the rare occasions when it happens, American soldiers are charged because they murder or torture captives who are not combatants, or when they do so to a combatant who is already in secure custody. That is a whole lot different than killing in the course of an active fire-fight where the other side is also armed and actively engaged in a current fire-fight.

American soldiers are in someone else's country, killing their people. Not the other way around. If ever you see Afghani soldiers in New York city killing innocent people, then all American people have every right to defend themselves against them.
And before you say 9/11, U.S has been killing people all over the world from Vietnam to Korea to Libya to Iraq to many South American countries and the list goes on.
US attacks, invades, steals and murders millions in the process and calls it all, gifting democracy!
Democracy by way of Peace Process. I know more than a few who said after 911, well of course.

Absolutely, democracy is great but you cant bomb a country into peace. Also, U.S has a funny policy about democracy. If the democracy in a country is not playing into their hand, its an immediate coup, over throw the government even if democratically elected and install yout own puppet government. Libya, Egypt and Ukraine are some examples.
On the other hand, we have countries like Saudi Arabia who are a monarchy and know nothing of democracy. Where women cant even drive a car, yet somehow these countries are great American allies who apparenlty DO NOT need democracy and U.S doesnt mind that their people have no say in anything.
I was being cheeky. I feel comfortable doing that after listening to Noam Chomskys' riff on the usa definition of peace process. Good times.

Haha no i got that. I just added to your point. And yeah, Chompsky did an amazing job recently when he spokke at the UN. Regarding bot Israel and the states.
Why do you insist that a 15 year old doesn't know right from wrong? What age is acceptable to you when they do know right from wrong???
American soldiers have been charged with murder during a firefight.
Reference, please.
Oh my god you listen to Noam Chomsky? Nothing like a million year old Anarcho syndicalist to set the world straight.
whens the next meeting comrade??
They might have given suspended voluntary community service to one or two...
^^^+1 ash...
This again?? I already said 8 in this thread. Geez for a guy who's all about numbers and mental capacity.......
I don't mind listening period. You?
Not questioning if he knew what he was doing, wether he knew it was "right or wrong"... questioning what he did being called wrong!
