The idea of applying self defense legality to a war is a bit flawed.

Also, the idea of stopping the ability of an enemy to make war, and by wounding a soldier, we do more to hamper the enemy war effort is great reasoning, if we're pushing the Germans back across Western Europe in 1944.

There are no "strategic" targets in Iraq for the 8th Air Force to bomb, there is no Taliban industry to destroy in Afghanistan, only fighters, armed with rifles, fighting us, armed with rifles.

This is a war that needs to be ended not by stopping them, but by killing them.

And for it is worth, I never once saw a Taliban insurgent lend aid to one of his wounded comrades. More often than not, they left their wounded for us to deal with, knowing that we were mandated to render aid.

To make this a firearms related rant, I doubt we would here half the gripes about the M-4A1/5.56mm if I could carrying some friggin' 72 grain hollow points in my M-4A1 like I deer hunt with in my Mini-14.

Same goes for the M-9/9x19mm
