>>fighting in the cause of anti-communism doesn’t give one the right to murder people like that security guard whose only crime apparently was being insufficiently fanatically anti-communist to deserve life.
There has never been and will never be a war where only the guilty suffer. You are trying to hold those men to an impossible standard.
These people made a choice to murder a police man in cold blood while he was helpless, and that security guard, who was NOTHING to do with the state apparatus that they detested so much.
All right, they hated communism, it didn’t give them the right to murder anyone who stood in their way. That is the mindset of a terrorist, and that is what these people were. It would probably been a bit too much to expect these people to hang for their crimes, but to see them lauded as heroes is nothing short of outrageous.....
