Senseless violence is and everywhere should be condemned, but violence itself is not inherently a wrong. The violent actions of the US and Allied forces brought an end to the Holocaust. Violence is sometimes necessary and morally just in self defense and in defense of those who cannot defend themselves. Would you claim that the work of US Coast Guard after Hurricane Katrina was immoral? Is the Coast Guard "in the business of hurting, killing, and causing suffering"? The "support" you see here on HN has less to do with hypocrisy, but instead is condemning your ill-reasoned moral absolutism.
