What would YOU do????

Mission: Kill the enemy in a nearby village
Situatuion: You get to the village at dawn and are scared out of you mind. You don't want to be here, you are not a fighter, but you got drafted...sucks for you. You get to the village and a little 7 year-old boy comes out of a hut with a gun pointed right at you. He aims and gets ready to fire........What do you do????? Do you kill a little boy, that is about to kill you? It's you or him....which do you chose....YOU or HIM?????

Soliders were called "baby killers" at the end of the war, but were the soliders actions justified.......or not?

Kiowa's Death

I know that this is far back in the book but I felt that it was never discussed as it should be. As we all know Kiowa dies a very gruesome death in a field of crap. How would you feel if you let your comrade slip away like Norman Bowker did? Do you think that the solders looked hard enough or gave up to early searching for his body? How would you feel if you died that way?
