When it's either you or me who gets to live, and your job is to kill me, I choose me.

Families grieving are irrelevant.

If I was that soldier and had to decide to kill two officers in order to leave that murderous regime, I'd double tap them both just to make certain they were fucking dead.

You replied:

I fully agree

I remember being station in SK during the very early 70's and my Army platoon spent a month at the DMZ at an outpost called Malibu and I'll tell ya, it's as close to actual combat w/o the enemy actually shooting at you.
If I were that soldier, I would do exactly what he did and I sure wouldn't be thinking of the families of those I had to kill to get out of that murderous regime.

Posters above, including you, have taken this news report at face value. So I replied accordingly. If further news reports change considerably, then appropriated opinions could change. As written, and argued above, it's cold-blooded murder.
