Did Marine A Do Wrong? On Biggar’s Lethal Intentions

Studies in Christian Ethics 28 (3):287-291 (2015)
  Copy   BIBTEX

Abstract

On patrol in Afghanistan, Sgt Blackman—referred to as ‘Marine A’ at the subsequent trial—pulled a wounded Taliban fighter out of view and shot him at close range. He was subsequently convicted for murder. I argue that, given premises endorsed in In Defence of War, Nigel Biggar is committed to the justifiability of that battlefield killing
