Enlighten me. plz.

So all soldiers who have killed are mentally ill?

The act of killing is not "insane" and does not automatically make the perpretrator mentally ill in any kind of way

we are talking about crime, not war. There is a big difference.

Well you said "killing someone is crazy". Whether or not a killing is officially considered legal by the government that doesnt change the fact it's a killing. So now it is only those who's killing is illegal that must be mentally ill?

I think if you dig into that one a little bit you will find a lot of killings by members of armed forces from one country or another have been committed before a declaration of war or after a cessation of hostilities and in a lot of recent conflicts without a declaration of war at all.
