Ok, I get it. Yes, I went overboard, though I do take exception to several of General Forestry's points.

Funny, I thought this was a forum about the military, which is basically legalized people killing people. AND, the title of this thread is "U.S. Constitution: Second Amendment" which is all about the right to bear arms, people killing other people is bound to come up. That would be like someone who had a family member killed by a tree falling on them going to a forestry website and getting offended when they run across a section talking about logging accidents.
if you are one of these people who is easily offended don't read the hidden text
General Forestry wrote:And as for the last portion of your post, even mentioning the idea of someone being put in that situation is outrageous. No one should ever have to think about that, and no one should ever have to experience losing their loved ones, or even losing them when they have been invaded.
And we shouldn't ever have to think about soldiers going to war and not coming back. Maybe that is why "the West" will never win another war, people die in war, but apparently no one knows that. Shit happens, quit hiding in a bubble.
I detest life-insurance agents; they always argue that I shall some day die, which is not so.
