I am going to get jumped on for this one...


I detest war, I think they are unnecessary, evil and pointless waste and destruction of beauty and grace the universe has seen fit to hand to us. They are an abomination and anyone that partakes in them is no hero in my book.
I would rather die with honour than with the stain of innocent blood on my hands. A soldier is such because he has a particular set of values. I personally hold those values to be disgraceful and perpetuating hate, death, destruction and disunity.
Honourable men do not rape during war, they do not pillage, they do not kill innocents, nor do they accept that certain levels of innocent death is to be accepted in war. And any who do have no honour.

As for the rapist - I would question his motives for saving the family...? I would examine what the difference in cost to him was - why was it just as easy for him to cause pain and devastation and just as easy to put his life before another? I would consider tht the issue - and a negative. His lack of commitment to one path, his fickle moral compass cannot be "good" can it? I believe people can change, but in the moment he committed the bad act, he is bad. In the moment he commits the good, he is good. On a whole, his good act does not retract the damage he has already caused...
