My point was simply, as Snaqs and others agreed with, to respond to Rufus' comment that we seem to feel that "They're raping us!" is more offensive than "They're killing us!" I only said the part about my anti-war opinion because I felt I needed to explain my own inaccurate characterization of killing in the military. That mistake doesn't change the comparison of rape to killing and the relative ethical and offensive impact of those acts, and consequently of those accusations.
Snaqs is right that this is not the place to discuss the whys and wherefores of military or non-military or anti-military whatever.
