IMHO there shouldnt be wars at all so killing an oposite soldier wouldnt be
nesesary. Look a life is a life, it doesnt matter what was your reason for
taking it, he only "murder" I would accept is self defense meaning that you
or one you love is in equal danger so I guess a soldier kills in self
defense so he is not guilty of murder but the person who caused the conflict
is.

Other point I want to make is that one of you guys, sorry dont remember who,
said that there was no diference between violence and cinematografic
violence, you are wrong, IMO anyways, Inside an RPG you carry guns armor and
all sorts of weapons you can, you commit a crime every thay (SR universe)
from buying whith a SINless cred stick to killing something. now on real
life I do not go to the streets armed or looking for trouble or commiting
any crimes, I do not go arround killing any one who oposes my way, and if
you can not see the diference between imagining something and actually
hapening i very well sugest you stop playing it will cause you problems
