...they are dying for several bad ones.

Come to think of it, is there ever a "good" reason for anyone to die?  There are sometimes "justifiable" reasons, or even "understandable" ones.  Certainly "regrettable" ones?  But "good" ones?  

I don't even think that "to do away with bad guys" is really a GOOD reason for anyone to die.  But it is an understandable, if regrettable one.  Still, not good.
