Jesus Christ, sorry for being a pacifist....
And I'm not going to go further into detail with my opinions for fear of getting banned for being too political, but I'll just say this: to The Sarge, who mentioned Iraq...you want murder of innocent civilians? How about the 15000 (min) to 100,000 (max) estimated Iraqi civilian deaths caused by the Iraq war? Caused by 'our brave boys'. Do you find that extremely honourable?
And as for the thing you said about headshots: you're still killing an animal just for fun, and therefore I believe its still cruel. Just because we are the monkeys that became smart enough to develop technology and guns does not give us the right to murder any animal for fun.Geez, sorry for trying to support 'my brave boys' that are fighting and dieing for the freedom I enjoy. Now you chew on this. My "headshot" comment was sarcasm. I'm sorry if you find that hard to detect. I don't even hunt. And as for your body count, that's severely overestimated. The current body count is placed between 14,563 (min) and 16,742 (max) (numbers found on www.iraqbodycount.net [try citing a source for your numbers next time]), and not all these deaths are a result of 'our brave boys,' but are also the result of "the breakdown of law and order, and deaths due to inadequate health care or sanitation." So I still find our soldiers honorable, despite the fact that they "murder" civilians.
If Bungie bans me for this, so be it.

Thanks, Sarge, for clarifying many things. I'd just like you to know that I totally agree with you on supporting our brave boys 'n' girls in Iraq. Whether you like to admit it or not, they're all selflessly sacrificing A LOT from their own free will (every branch of the Military is strictly voulntary) and that's something that is very honorable.
Also, it's true. A good chunk of the deaths are accounted for from suicide bombings, guerilla resistance, and lack of health care/sanitation.
Well, I said some political stuff. Sarge, if you're goin' down then I'm comin' with ya.
