they are essentially POWs. Concentration camp is another apt analogy. Your opinion doesn't make something moral to anyone but you. Morality is too subjective/personal to really define... the truly telling part is that Rand found the act immoral, as he later insinuates when he thinks about what he's done.

As for homosexuality in the military, there are military organizations that allow it ... Israel for one,not sure what that has to do with this conversation though.

I'm talking about human rights organizations and the wider military mentality... i.e. a General who did what Rand did would likely be brought up on war crimes charges!
