My grandfather taught hand to hand combat to the troops, do not know what he did but he became an alcoholic when he returned from Europe, My Great Uncle Robert (Grandfather's brother) went down on the Arizona, my great Uncle Dial was tank driver under Patton, my Great Uncle Raul was a 40mm AntiAircraft gunner on the USS Enterprise!

Full stop.

The soldiers in different wars/ places had different orders and in some cases they were handcuffed by politicians. I'm for allowing anyone being shot at, assaulted or targeted to respond as brutally as possible.

War should be total or not at all, kill the enemy and break his stuff until he can no longer carry the war forward!
