The scenario is Sophie’s choice style of decision. Just assume the death is quick and painless but they the one that lives will assume they live their current life.

  • “Would you rather a soldier or a civillian live/die?”

    Nationality shouldn’t matter

    If you flip it around and its a Iranian Soldier vs US Civillian, without futher details, it’s still gonna be the civillian that has more right to live.

      Yeah I intended it to be us soldiers and Iranian civilians to match real world events and I didn’t want to add a bunch of details to color people’s opinions.

      But I could have said the civilian trafficked human, sexually assaulted everyone, or was Muslim and us soldier was a football legend, started 20 charity, a 30 homeless shelters.

      Also it’s meant to dig into deep American propaganda of the military. Americans like the troops but don’t like what they do (aka kill school aged children)
