1LT Clint Lorance has people asking for a pardon for his for murdering two Afghan men. \u00a0According to this story, Lorance ordered his unit to shoot the two Afghans, but did not shoot them himself, and there is evidence connecting the two Afghan men to a roadside bomb that exploded.<\/p>\n

This brings up the questions about Wm. Calley\u2019s conviction for personally shooting 22 villagers at My Lai. A total of 109 Vietnamese civilians were killed, but there was never any indication that he gave an order to his men to do that. They acted independently.<\/p>\n

The question that needs to be answered is direct. In a war zone, under direct attack or an unexpected ambush, why is it not understood that the reaction to being attacked, and subsequently trying to find the enemy to take him out, but failing and taking the anger out on the next perceived enemies is exactly what happens in warfare?<\/p>\n

I\u2019m not saying it\u2019s right when it happens. I’m questioning the lack of understanding of the reaction itself.\u00a0When these accusations and charges by people who were not in the war zone are inflicted on people reacting normally under extreme duress, why is this reaction to being attacked, or not finding the enemy but finding a viable substitute, not understood?<\/p>\n
