Only a sith deals in absolutes!
That's not an absolute system. It's a system where a person's culpability is determined by their actions.
Ok, i was trying to make a joke to diffuse what was clearly an attempt to argue with me in a serious way about something that i was only arguing in a light-hearted way.
I dont agree with you that someone being forced to join a military makes them exempt from any moral consideration when trying to determine whether to blow up a space station they are on.
What choice would you have made if you had a gun to your head?
I'm not saying it's a fair system, I am just saying they are a valid military target.
But I'd like to think that I wouldn't kill innocent people even if someone pointed a gun at my head. Of course no one knows how far they'll go to survive until they're put in dire circumstance.
