      So you think they should do murder to keep themselves out of jail?

      Would you murder someone because you were threatened with jail if you didn’t?

        There are plenty of troops that just repair cars. Maybe those cars get used for murder, maybe they don’t. It’s a complex moral problem that is different for everyone at different levels.

        By saying fuck the troops, you are falling into the trap the owners want. You are focusing on pawns rather than the kings they want to be.
