Question 3. Intend? no. On both counts, he intended to make money. However your point is valid and raises the question on how to deal with secondary results. It would depend on how heavily you weigh intentions, and consequences.

I think people should think before acting, and be held accountable for both intentions and actions, depending on their extremes.

By the way, this is Shannon's brother, in case that is of any relevance.

2nd point, the emotional response to an attack. The eye for an eye, plus one. or a thousand... sometimes, but don't always agree with that one.

Asking for a moral decision in a survival situation, of a soldier is semi ironic to me. Yet, you have a point. The best approach I think would be mindful awareness, which can be trained. Something to be thought on, mindful awareness in combat. Its akin to drinking hot tea without burning ones self.. .while riding a unicycle downhill through traffic

Blast this is going to take some time to respond to!

Question 1, the one that boggles your mind No motive, taking human life.

At first I thought I had an easy answer, but I think in truth you would be hard pressed to find a killing void of any motive. It would only happen with a devaluation of human life, or a vastly skewed concept of existence.

The closest I could get is where suddenly, one would want someone to die, for no reason other then that desire. but it still has a motive to me.
