To kill the soldier it was requesting = chocolate from? = human life is cheap in many non-Western countries, particularly the orient. Female children are considered expendable (in China where parents are limited to one child; the abortion of a female fetus is common). children in war zones have always begged chocalate from soldiers and even a small child can pack enough plastiques to wipe out an entire patrol. as I said, it is one or the other --the child dies either way, and explosives are very messy. no matter how war movies are glorified for joe six-pack, war is still hell. -- Fuck off, Uncle Sam.
