    Aren’t all soldiers signing up to kill people for money, yes he’s on the opposing side and we can hate him for supporting a fascist war machine that’s trying to annex a soverign nation; but I don’t see how we can hate him for the simple act of being a soldier unless we’re prepared to say that about all of our own soldiers as well.

      Some, probably most, sign up to protect their homeland not to kill lots of people. I think such motivation would get you kicked out of some armies, in fact. No one wants a psychopath in their squad!
