But he COULD be threatened by the babies..this makes it justified.No, not a strawman. A strawman argument is one where the opponent in an argument seeks to re-state the other persons position and then rebuts the reformed fallacious argument.
I did not restate his position for him. I extrapolated it out to remind him that what he proposes, WAR, ALSO includes killing innocent people.
I asked Odd Ball if when he goes to fight bad guys if he will be okay with KILLING people that HAVEN'T threatened him. Presumably he has not been threatened by babies.
I could not kill a person that I DON'T KNOW and has never personally threatened me. That includes men, women and babies.
Where do you draw the line? Could you kill a man you don't know ? A woman ? A baby?
