I think that murder charges during
a war are very unfair and unnecessary. If the Lieutenant (in this case),
suspected that he and his fellow troops were in danger, I think he should have
the right to open fire. I feel like that makes more sense than to let the enemy
get extremely close, and have them attack our troops. If that scenario were to
happen, then the Lieutenant would get ridiculed for not opening fire on them.
It’s almost a no win situation for him. All he did was make a judgment call
based on what he saw. If he has reason to think he is in danger, he should have
the right to open fire without being scared of a murder charge in his future.
In my mind, there is no way that someone should get charged for murder if they
are overseas fighting for our country.
I do agree with the quote that is
stated. Nothing should be handed to us Americans. We should have to work for
our citizenship. No one should be able to sit at home and take money from the
government. Everyone should have to earn their citizenship. People should vote,
work, and pay taxes if they are able. It is a duty, and every citizen needs to
fulfill their duty. It isn’t fair if some citizens get to be lazy, and take the
government’s money, while the rest of the citizens work their tails off and pay
taxes. Every citizen should pull their weight. There shouldn’t be any
exclusions.
