The obvious answer is something like "Well of ''course'' people can accept that in the enemy and not in our own troops &ndash; '''that's why they're the enemy!''' We're supposed to be the [[good]] guys! If we're no better than they are, then why does it even matter which side wins?" Claiming or implying that the US shouldn't be held to higher standards than those of our enemies is basically an immoral stance; it denies any moral grounds for doing battle other than an "Us vs. Them" mentality, and implies that we should continue to do battle even if we are not clearly in the right. (I mean, is this not blindingly obvious to anyone except a politician? Do we need a [[moral standards in wartime|page for further discussion]] of this idea?)</ins></div></td></tr>
