Because if we give them undefined support, we condone the behavior.
It does NOT take bravery to point a gun at an innocent and pull the trigger because someone ordered you to.
It DOES take bravery to stand down and refuse to accept that order.
It is NOT brave to fire into a group of unarmed civilians (which HAS happened in Iraq). It IS brave to refuse that order to do so.
Holding a loaded gun in one's hands - ordered to use it against all comers is not bravery.
