How would you feel if you were in a war, defending your country and family, where the attacking soldiers were conscripts and didn’t want to be fighting you in the first place?
I’m glad you haven’t been in that situation and hope you never are.
I disagree on its relevance. In such a situation, it would make sense to have the desire to kill that soldier, but you might not hate him. Does that make sense? I’m asking you to use your imagination of such a situation and how you might feel about it. If you think you would feel or behave differently, I’m all ears
You keep trying to find a justification for wishing someone death and jumping through multiple hoops to explain it to convince yourself you are justified. There is no war without hate.
I gave an example that I thought was pretty similar to the comic. But reasonable people could differ on that one.
War certainly breeds hate, I’ll give you that. And in today’s world, most leaders generate hate to drive people towards war. But I guess a real world, contemporary example could be Ukraine. Many Russians don’t want to be on the battlefield, or so I’ve read. Many Ukrainians feel like they have no choice to defend their homes and loved ones. I wonder if there are Ukrainians that don’t hate their Russian counterparts, though they’re fighting them. I imagine there at least have to be a few. I dunno.
In any case, I don’t think either of us is budging in our beliefs here. I hope neither of us ever ends up in this kind of situation, and I hope we can avoid wishing death on people, hating them or not. Have a great day, my dude

I have never been in that situation so I don’t know. Also it is irrellevant to what we are talking about.
