You don't feel sorry for SS soldiers killed in the second world war, so why feel sorry for him?
I feel sorry for any victim of a real war, I know someone who served in the SS, because it was serve and your family will be looked after or don't and we shoot you all. He had friends who were there for the same reason who died and you have to kinda feel sorry for them, or at least I do.
OT. This whole modern war style sits nicely on the dual standards of thinking. In world war 2 the French (and other occupied nations) resistance basically invented this kind of way to fight back against a numerically and technologically superior force sat in their homeland, they are hailed as heroes because the allies won. When the Afghans or Iraqis (and Vietcong back in the day) do it they're evil and cowardly (as the media keeps branding them). I think anyone who will fight and die for their principals is damn brave. I doubt many in the modern day UK would be willing to die on principal as most I see don't have any.
