I agree plur, it's a matter of awareness and expectation. If you're having fun killing people you're at best only dimly aware of the consequences. Sure the other side might enjoy the same things. But what about their loved ones or yours? What about the non participants in the area? These are issues in war but not issues in sports and games. The fact that you can rationalize something doesn't make it right. When there is no alternative this might not make it wrong. But it certainly does not make it right either. Right is a judgment of value, if we call love liberty life and unity right we cannot judge the taking of any of these as right. The alternative however might be more wrong. Which means sometimes a lesser wrong is the only option. However I'd suggest in most of these cases we just need to look harder.
