Sorry you're sick, bb!

I love your Bones thinky thoughts, and if I weren't dead on my feet at the mo I'd add a bit of rambling of my own here, but let me just say I agree with all your points except the one about Cam's hair, which was a big moment of NOOOOOOOOOOOO!!! to me ;)

Because here's the thing: there are no easy answers. Booth has killed people. He has. As Brennan said, there are similarities between him & Broadsky. He may not have "wanted to pull the trigger," but he knew what being a sniper meant before he agreed to the job. No one forced him. He wasn't drafted into the military. The term "sniper" isn't ambiguous. It means ending lives. Like it or not, you can always find someone out there to disagree with pretty much any ole thing, right? So, logic says that if you go to war & kill someone, it's not too unlikely they'd have a family member mourning them that doesn't agree your war/actions are just & would therefore call you a murderer. Objectively, it's the truth. Especially since, hello, why else would you be fighting a war if there wasn't an enemy? That implies they don't agree with you. In their mind, YOU'RE the killer.

I'm really glad you mentioned that, because I think it is a huge part of the whole issue, and I find that it tends to get overlooked...
