So you're going to disrespect and blame the individual that had nothing to do with it because of the actions of others?

I'm not saying that you should let the organization as a whole off the hook, but should we really be putting the individual in the cross hairs without knowing what their story is?

Are you going to put the medic that helped the injured innocent in front of the firing line because other people bombed the area?

The big issue I have with your statements, and those of the OP are that they are extremist. It's possible to have a nuanced conversation about it without resorting to the extremes. No wonder the pot keeps calling the kettle black

Hey so this serial killer who boiled his victims alive had a really sad upbringing. We should just call it a wash and let him back out on the streets right?

Learning what their story is might be good to do for a common thief, and maybe you'll choose to be sympathetic as opposed to angry at the loss of your material possessions, but at a certain level of depravity, I don't care what their story is. The victims of their atrocities don't care what their story is. They can tell their story to the devil before getting thrown in the lake of fire.

Hey man, I just fill deliver fuel for the orphan-crushing machine company. Don't hold me responsible for the monsters who actually crush the orphans!

If you want a nuanced discussion, start with explaining exactly how guilty different members of the U.S. military are when the military has a long history of committing atrocities, and since the 70s all members have signed up willingly.

If I were to willingly join the mob, how clean are my hands if I just drive guys around, or just patch them up after they're shot?
