Draft me into the military, and I'll go into whatever hellhole and deliver sweet-release from this cruel world to anyone with murder and hate in their heart, because I love them and do not want to see them suffer anymore.
Do YOU have the ability to stick a bayonet into someone's gut, pull it out and stab again to make sure he's dead. Even when the "enemy" looks the age of your younger brother? Can you shoot to kill someone who's not looking at you, but watching someone in your unit? Can you kill someone who is walk down the road, unaware of your presence just because he's wearing the wrong uniform?
Norm, you know nothing about war, nothing about combat, and little about politics. When you discuss computers, you're a good read, but this thread you should just drop.
