Still very far from ideal to kill soliders of the invading army, cuz they’re also people with lives and aren’t always willing in their choice, or worse case, indoctorinated.
There truly are monsters whom love wars and killing and enter the army exactly because, but those are almost certainly a minority
Edit: I’m not exactly sure why, but it seems like my comment is being read as if in opposition rather than in addition. I’m not saying “don’t kill”, I’m saying “shame it did come to that”, where it did come to that because of military as a concept. Military as a reaction to other militaries only exists as a need to other militaries existing as well. So if there was no military to exist in the first place, there would simply be no need for one as a reaction either
I wouldn’t phrase it as ‘deserve’, but yeah, obviously. Pacifism is as bad of a failure when it doesn’t prevent those whom bring harm from doing so. I have no issue with them dying since it did come to that point. But I still, personally, believe that I can get to grieve for them nonetheless. It’s not contradictory as I see it.
(I’m more than open to a discussion and even invite for someone to correct me if I’m wrong, not in the sense of “I challange” as much as “I want to improve”)
I get it’s not what I would like to happen in general that a soldier invades another country. Still, they have to die in order to avoid being occupied. It’s a different debate on which is worse and depends a lot on the occupying country and the recipient, generally occupation bad tho.

Sure it’s not ideal but I won’t cry for any dead Russian soldiers. You walked across that border, you deserve to die.

Idk. If you’re coming to kill me fuck you. I don’t really care about your justification.
“Ooh, but I was indoctrinated, it wasn’t my fault” No. You are coming to kill me so fuck you.
