If Kitano's Kubi is to be believed. I think he was yes

You are downplaying the murder of an Afghan collaborator. It feels like you are doing a dumb bit.

This genuinely just feels intensely racist there nothing else I can look to to understand your support for this insane calculation

Can you explain exactly why I should choose the life of the dog (and the "mental wellbeing" of the American soldier) over the life of a Afghan collaborator who we would otherwise leave to a cruel death?

Yes I care more for the lives of Afghans who supported the American forces more than the American soldier. I especially care more when one is a dog. I think you genuinely need to take account of why you don't.

Happy to care more for people's lives than for dogs, in this situation and many more.

As opposed to the real human beings left behind who will surely not suffer any ill effects. Boo hoo to the soldiers.

That really is how it feels. He hit the nail on the head.

I can only speak for my department tbf, it could be much worse elsewhere

I mean is that what's happening? From inside it looks at lot more cynical than that

It's mostly just like rephrasing metaphysics and philosophy of the mind to make the higher ups who don't understand anything and don't want to give them more money. I don't know how that will backfire
