Who does a better job at defendant their defendants when in a court-martial military appointed lawyer or a civilian lawyer?
Civilian law and military are very unalike. Unless the civilian lawyer is skilled and practiced at military law, I would go with the military counsel every time.
Is it uncommon for a defendant to waive his or her rights to an attorney and undertake his or her own defense?
It is relatively uncommon for a defendant to waive their rights to an attorney and represent themselves in court. This is known as "pro se" representation. It can be challenging for individuals without legal training to navigate the complexities of the legal system and mount an effective defense without professional counsel. However, in some cases, defendants may choose to represent themselves if they feel they have a better understanding of their case or if they have limited resources to hire an attorney.

Should lawyers be emotion-less in order to be objective?
Not necessarily.The defense attorney's responsibilities do not require objectivity. Of course, if the defense attorney can objectively prove that the defendant is innocent, it helps, but most defense attorneys are well-aware of their client's guilt. Their responsibility is to get the defendant the best deal possible, which many times requires them to appeal to the emotions of the judge, prosecutor, and jury.The prosecutor should be a little more objective. The prosecutor is expected to provide tangible evidence that the defendant is guilty beyond a reasonable doubt; however, the prosecutor, too, may appeal to the emotions of the jury. You'll commonly hear prosecutors make remarks about the victim's personal life, representing them as an upstanding person, thus making the jury more likely to convict and the judge more likely to sentence strictly.Both should show SOME objectivity; however, if they're acting "emotion-less", they would not be adequately doing their jobs.Emotion-less objectivity is better suited for an investigator.
What should a defendant do when served in a lawsuit?
There really is no list of options for the defendant. The defendant must show up at the appointed time and place and represent their own interest at the hearing. If they cannot appear on that date they should visit the court and try to reschedule the hearing. It is always better to be represented by an attorney.There really is no list of options for the defendant.

How is Israel justified in killing thousand of Muslims?
Israel does not purposely kill innocent children. They try and make sure innocent civilians are not in an area where there is danger. Terrorist groups hide there weapons and explosives in schools and hospitals, and have no problem killing innocent Israelis. In fact, even though it would better protect them, Israel does not bomb schools and hospitals because they do not want to hurt innocent people.
