    Okay but wanting to keep your job as a nurse at a charity clinic and wanting to keep your job as an IDF colonel are not the same.

      You’re comparing an HR employee to a military officer? That’s apples and oranges right there.

      But I’ll bite. Most military officers and enlisted are people too, you know. They got kids, they love and hate people too. Hell, even terrorists. Ones terrorist is another person’s liberation hero. I’m sure most IDF officers too mat have misgivings about the war they fight but when you’re in a military you don’t get to complain, especially during a war.

      It’s easy to vilify people, it’s hard to see that each and everyone of us is a human being with hopes and fears.

        I mean, maybe in the German SS, but I’m pretty sure every single “Israeli” SS officer gets off on the warcrimes. bad example.

        also, intentionally do three (instances of-sometimes you blow up a hospital filled with orphans and POW’s in a secondary strike on a medic; happens to the best of us) warcrimes in a year, and the only reason you still count as human is for harvesting parts.
