Him having such enemies is a direct and very expected consequence of him signing up to torture, kill, and otherwise subjugate the people of Iraq and Afghanistan multiple times.
The only way you can think he had any right to retaliate in general is if you think that repeatedly signing up to torture, kill, and otherwise subjugate the people of Iraq and Afghanistan multiple times is perfectly okay.
I didn't say any of those things and I don't think that.
You were trying to excuse a USSian invader going around orders in order to fire explosives at civilians in the comment I replied to:
There's a difference between accidentally running over someone and intentionally doing it. The effect is the same, the intent is not. I'm not saying he was good or righteous or morally correct or anything.
there's a difference between accidents and negligently lobbing grenades in an enemies general direction while fighting in densely populated urban areas.
Contrary to what you are implying, one does not accidentally build a mortar, fire it at civilians, and then speak on forums about how awesome of an experience that was.
One also does not accidentally sign up multiple times to go torture and kill people in Iraq and Afghanistan.
