I'm saying that it's better to do away with the illusion of choice ... which is what you have now.
you're equating this guy with the nazi defendants at nuremburg?
The Pseudo-Courage of Chris Kyle
That kind of courage, which is conspicuous in danger and enterprise, if devoid of justice, is absolutely undeserving of the name of valor. It should rather be considered as a brutal fierceness outraging every principle of humanity. –
Cicero, The Offices, Book I Chapter XIX
As a sniper with the Navy SEALs in Iraq, Chris Kyle was shot twice and wounded on several other occasions. He is credited with 160 confirmed kills. He received several commendations. Of his fierceness there is no reasonable doubt. Whether his exploits display courage is an entirely separate question.
American Sniper: The Autobiography of the Most Lethal Sniper in U.S. Military History, the ghost-written memoir for which Kyle claims primary authorship, offers convincing testimony that Kyle not only failed to display genuine courage in Iraq, but was incapable of recognizing it when it was exhibited by desperate patriots seeking to evict the armed foreigners who had invaded and occupied their country.
The insurgents who fought the American invasion (and the few “allied” troops representing governments that had been bribed or brow-beaten into collaborating in that crime) were sub-human “savages” and “cowards,” according to Kyle.
“Savage, despicable evil,” writes Kyle. “That’s what we were fighting in Iraq…. People ask me all the time, `How many people have you killed?’... The number is not important to me. I only wish I had killed more. Not for bragging rights, but because I believe the world is a better place without savages out there taking American lives.”
None of the American military personnel whose lives were wasted in Iraq had to die there, because none of them had any legitimate reason to be there. From Kyle’s perspective, however, only incorrigibly “evil” people would object once their country had been designated the target of one of Washington’s frequent outbursts of murderous humanitarianism.

Gothy do you agree with those sentiments?
That whole phrase, and fore that matter what Jesus was about was/is what is in the "heart".
So, we'll never know if that whole indecent had anything to do with that or not.

comparing not equating yet you use other people's words to cast him as a coward. i think we who that crown belongs to.
yeah i'm sure my standard of living would be great under a monarchy, a mode of government that corresponds to a simple, moronic, extractive economy. where downtrodden serfs weep at the sight of the royal tribute collector. and have to deal with sootikens regularly. but, right... we're all fools...
bring out yer dead.
LMAO.
