Language Which Destroys The Soul

Here are two related articles I think you should read -

(2) This one complements the first and also describes the impact this sort of hypocrisy has on the the people who must do the killing:

If you ever start to think the US, the UK, or Israel are righteous nations, come back and read these again.
