When a US soldier in Iraq shoots an officer who gives illegal orders is he committing murder or is he protecting the Iraqis?

“Peace activists” in the US say it is murder. But when we ask them if it is murder when US troops shoot unarmed, wounded Iraqis they chirp “US troops are blameless victims who were forced to join the military because of poverty and racism. ”

In these “peace activists’ world US troops can slaughter hundreds of thousands, millions of people in the third world - and even laugh about it - without committing murder. They think that the only way US troops can commit murder is when they frag officers of the US military.

What sort of “peace activists” are these people?
