It asks how far you would go with your beliefs.
You are a US army soldier and you have just stumbled upon a smuggling ring, who are being paid to take Afgahnis families to safety. You find that Osama Bin Laden is among them and you find you have a choice.
The choice is thus:
You can let the people go thereby freeing Osama to stay as the figurehead of public terroism. He will escape you and be at large again. But you will have the knowledge you have saved a few hundred lives in the process.
Or you can call in a airstrike which will obliterate the smuggling ring, Afghan families, and Osama. Nothing in that area would survive. But you would have the knowledge that Osama was finally dead.
Which would you choose?
Just to add. This is assuming you CAN call in an airstrike in that moment. And tho choice I am giving you is "non-negotiable" to quote Bush. Without Elaboration please choose one of the above posts and descibe why you chose that answer. Pls I am not looking for elaboration on the choices.
This is not to judge you! I am simply curious as to how far people will go

rigged question , AW. those would not be the only choices available in a real military situation - ther are Standing Operating Procedures (sop) in the situation you created - IF your sit. rep. is not based in reality, how can it be answered in kind? - I would use my Laser Vision(tm) to cinderize everything but his head, to make easy carry-with proof of his grisly demise.
