3. Some people are in very deep denial. They have blood on their hands.

All those bloodthirsty warmongerers who deluded themselves into thinking that they were supporting the troops when they were just supporting some two-bit politician. Accepting that they were lied to means they may have to accept some responsibility.

May those who have died find peace with God.
