I don't think you do either with generalisations like that.... The solider has a point to quote:
"If I die fighting an Arab, I'm an unholy martyr," explained Ghafar. "But if I kill an Arab in battle, he'll be a shahid, a holy martyr." "This is not a holy war," Ghafar continued. "We are supporting Americans and non-Muslims against Muslims." These people are fighting their own kind for the benefit of America. Bin Ladin might be a terrible person, but he still helps expel the Russians from this soldiers homeland. And expelling the russians was also victory for America. How do you think that would feel... put yourself in his shoes....
