Christ looking at this thread you people really don't know about anything going on in this country. Please don't vote until you read some newspapers or something.
Take a step or two back, remove the blinders and look at the picture again. The scenario I painted is a very real scenario that has been played over and over again in many a war. The army in any nation teaches you to kill with no remorse, I raised the what if question and its not been answered yet. What would you do if you had to raise that gun to the head of your own blood? Would you pull the trigger? Its a moralistic question, some would say yes because its in the name of the country and others will say no because blood is thicker than anything a country has to offer.
