Maybe so.
But, I don't want the military of my country going backwards. They're far better than the enemies they've been fighting over the last 25+ years. To go backwards, simply closes the morality gap, instead of opening it.

The whole calling a lawyer before pulling the trigger point is an entirely separate debate, and is a bit of a red herring to the point that was brought in to question.
