First things first, I detest war, I think the politicians and generals should be at the front line and the soldiers sit in grandstands and score them for effort.Having said that and getting onto this Ben Roberts- Smith issue.What I have trouble reconciling is, what is the difference when a soldier who is fighting an enemy, that doesn't wear a uniform kills someone who turns out to be unarmed.Or a person in a Donga thousands of miles away, letting rip with a missile from a drone, to take out an individual and possibly many more nearby?Or people in an airplane, dropping a bomb or bombs that could take out unarmed innocent civilians, who decides where the line of decency and righteousness is drawn.Just my thoughts?
