I think the leading theory is that they're trying to provide food for you because they don't see you hunting and think you aren't eating. I think they're also trying to show you how to hunt.

I always told my friend that I liked helping him and that I'd rather be involved than be in the dark because I feel better if I can help him when he's in need. And I'm sure he'd feel the same if our roles were swapped. He's gotten a lot more open with me about how he's doing and doesn't talk about being a burden anymore so maybe it helped. I've also said that seeing a professional is a part if treatment in the same way that getting physical therapy is after breaking a bone. A friend and a professional help in very different ways and sometimes they're both needed for the best outcome. They can't replace each other specifically because they fill very different roles in the person's life.

It's not about whether it counts "as far as you're concerned", it's about whether it breaks international law. Trying to prevent every soldier under your command from killing any civilians ever on purpose or otherwise is all but impossible, what matters is if you as the leader are directly ordering it or praising/protecting those who do it, and whether you are taking reasonable steps to avoid it as much as possible. And even in there you have a lot of great areas where it's difficult to point at someone and say whether they are legally at fault or not.

How do you usually go about asking the families? Is it in person, via email, etc? Or do they usually contact you? And have there ever been negative reactions from the family if/when you ask them? Or are most people okay with the idea?
