To the officers and soldiers in the service of the king of Great Britain, not subjects of the said king :
The citizens of the United States of America are engaged in a just and necessary war—a war in which they are not the only persons interested. They contend for the rights of human nature, and therefore merit the patronage and assistance of all mankind. Their , success will secure a refuge from persecution and tyranny to those who wish to pursue the dictates of their own consciences, and to reap the fruits of their own industry. That kind Providence, who from seeming evil often produces real good, in permitting us to be involved in this cruel war, and you to be compelled to aid our enemies in their vain attempts to enslave us, doubtless hath in view to establish perfect freedom in the new world, for those who are borne down by the oppression and tyranny of the old. Considering, therefore, that you are reluctantly compelled to be instruments of avarice and ambition, we not only forgive the injuries which you have been constrained to offer us, but we hold out to your acceptance a participation of the privileges of free and independent states. Large and fertile tracts of country invite and will amply reward your industry.
The American version of justice includes much in the American Revolutionary history, such as the treatment of the British Soldiers as they surrendered, and here is a quote that ought to be understood in context: "To the officers and soldiers in the service of the king of Great Britain, not subjects of the said king :

So...play by criminal rules and you must obey without question or suffer cruel and unusual punishment in order for criminals to stay power as masters over slaves, on the one hand, and on the other hand is sanctuary, redemption, restitution, through due process, where volunteers volunteer to invest in voluntary mutual defense of everyone, as individuals adding their voluntary defensive power to a collective whole WHICH is the wealth of the world.
