At what point do I make the assertion that he didnt do the right thing? I was making a description of how this plays out as a values litmus test.

What you value will determine how you view Kyle.

He was an absolute Hero who answered the call of duty to protect a community. He put his life on the line and made himself a target, instead of not being there and letting the buildings and communities be the undefended target.

That is because, from a value standpoint, I understand that property is not just property.

However, there are those of good faith that do not understand that. They believe that life is life, and it is better to be breathing as a coward than to be a hero that caused death.

Further from that, there are those of bad faith that view those who wished to bring chaos and destruction as the heroes - and Kyle was the evil villain who got in there way.

I guess I needed to be clear where I stood at the outset to get others to read that post as intended.
