Wow...what an amazing sight.

Look.. It's Kellie Trantor, "negotiating" with the bloke in Jackboots and black shirt with the letters 'Wafen SS' embroidered on it, -about ..wait.. let me cup my ear with my hand..yep, I can hear now.. "human rights"... he is laughing..she has that 'serious concerned moral high ground' look.....

Oh wait.. there she is again... being marched off, head bowed..hair dishevelled, bruised face.. to a cattle truck by the looks of it....

seems those 'negotiations' didn't quite work out as she thought.

How strange that with a 'powerful argument' like she had.. it had no impact on the outcome of events.

Interesting thought, Boaz.

So, in your way of thinking, that makes the guy in the jackboots right?

Or have I missed something?

Ms. Tranter,

Moreover,
One who voluntarily joins the srmy, any army, cannot claim objections of any kind. It is only the conscript that has such privilege.

Kellie
You must surely shorten the life expectancy of the more warlike amongst your readers.
I think that more people should read a short book called "War is a Racket". It was written by a US Marine Brigardier General Smedley Butler (2 congressional medals of honour) in 1935. He realised that most wars take place in order to make a few people very rich. He came to realise that he had spent most of his life fighting and killing people in order to increase the number of millionaires in the USA. There were a lot more millionaires at the end of WW1 than at the beginning of the war.
Sadam Husssein was supplied with weapons by the West in order to fight Iran. He was supplied with all the chemicals to make chemical weapons and continued to be supplied even after he gassed the Kurds.
Unless we work to take the profit motive out of war we will continue to have wars around the world.

Dear Peace,

You made a good suggestion.

One of our best writers made an eloquent and humorous plea against the killing. http://www.midwinter.com/lurk/making/warprayer.html contains the War Prayer by Mark Twain.

http://www.truthdig.com/report/print/they_kill_alex_20100906/ contains the reaction of one American father to the death of his son.

Dear skeptic,

One who voluntarily joins the army can change his or her mind. The recruiters go after the young who haven't thought matters out.

The army dosent cater for indicision, the army works as a team.
Indicision is treason.
