Veterans Blog

                What do you believe when it comes to murder charges during war? I believe that all murder charges should be dropped when it comes to war. In fact I believe that there shouldn’t even be any murder charges. I think if an American soldier has to make a rash decision that could affect the safety of other American lives or soldiers he should go with his gut.in foreign countries you never know who can be working for the enemy even if they look to be a civilian, if they are doing something that looks suspicious or doesn’t look like any other civilian would do I think that gives the right for American soldiers to open fire and have no murder charges on put on their heads. After all it is war so Soldiers should do any means necessary to help bring a victory to the United State of America.
                                                   

                 "Citizenship is a duty, not a privilege." This is a saying that a veteran used to help people understand what a soldier really stands for every time he goes over seas. I think this saying says a lot citizenship is a duty by all means because if you live in a country and you do nothing to help support you country then God help you. Every American should help support his country and be a good citizen to his country whether that means being in the army helping veterans or doing something that will help benefit your country in some way. This takes me back to the first question as well because if citizenship is a duty and not a privilege then by all means it is your duty as an American citizen fighting in a foreign to pull the trigger on that questionable situation. With that said, the American government should not prosecute their own countrymen for doing their duty and starting a fire fight on an enemy group to help secure the safety of the American public.
