A Navy Seal's account of survival

[jumpy]

I think he means on principal there are no good guys in war; war is inherently evil because we kill each other, therefore, regardless of intent or morality, because we participate in something evil, assigning one side as 'the goody guys' is entirely subjective to your viewpoint and in that sense is a bit of a misnomer. What's really important in warfare is not who is right or wrong, but who kills more of the enemy that dictates victory - after that it's up to politicians and vested interests to declare from their positions of victory or defeat who and what the good/bad guys are.

Packerton gives no reference to the righteousness of the conflict in WW2 nor any inference that the allies were bad or should have capitulated. I must admit to failure to see the relevance myself... :hmm: A rather obvious sarcasm illustrating a point still doesn't change the nature of bloodletting, particularily when dealing with something as abstract as the concept of justice or right and wrong, good and evil.
