How is it terrorism when they kill soldiers?

[HoreTore]

That implies soldiers, regardless of motivation, should be considered dead (and by extension, I suppose, undeserving of any rights or compassion). I can't see the moral reasoning for that statement, and "because I don't care" brings no illumination. It's a kind of nihilism, and therefore strikes me as morally bankrupt.

No, that implies that I do my mourning when they sign the contract.

But anyway, Banqou, since you say that socialists don't care about human beings, I take it you're not a socialist? And that would mean that you weep for the fallen Taliban soldiers, right? Every last one of them? And.... That would also mean that you're willing to protect them, right? Because weeping at people's death and not wanting to do anything to prevent their deaths, that strikes me as kinda... How'd you put it? "Morally bankrupt"?
