The "guilt" of this Marine's illegal entry is similar to the "guilt"
of a trespasser who, while on your property, trims your lawn, refills
your fridge, does your dishes, and then, after writing you a rent
check, dies defending your house against burglars. You may object to
his being on your property in the first place (though those
objections, frankly, would sound pretty thin in retrospect), but, at
worst, his actions are confusing, not morally objectionable.
