Who are we to decide when somebody ceases to exist? There are however these, as I said, gray areas. Nazi orchestrators(sp?) and ISIS are very cliche examples but I honestly think they lost their right to live on this earth if all they're going to do is kill people. I realize the hypocrisy. THEY ARE KILLING? CAN'T HAVE THAT. KILL THEM.
There's the gray area. At what point do you do something? When I was out in SD for the Seals graduation, I met a lot of people that I could tell just wanted to kill people and some who generally felt the need to at least be there to defend the county in case of craziness. I can't really fault the latter. They don't get to have special treatment like discounts and sh*t. But, f*ck, who else is going to do it when the time comes?

WW2 wouldn't have happened without imperialism aided by willing soldiers. I wonder if the "Greatest Generation" had any opinions about how their country was carrying on all around the world beforehand or if they just nodded their empty heads like their fathers and children did and continue to do.
