Bless
you M.H. for your candor and honesty. Most people cannot imagine the sights,
sounds, and smells of war and death. Without that, experience is only
imaginings. Nothing changes a person like “seeing the elephant”. It is a
personal experience for each. There is not a right or wrong way. It is about
getting on with the job. – J.D.

Hugh,
Excellent
article.
About
the reluctance of so many to expose themselves to danger, he describes the
human condition.
As
an example from history, in the American Revolution, the militia was notoriously
unreliable. If memory serves me, it was at the Battle of Cowpens that Daniel
Morgan, after pleading with the militia the night before, was able to get a
commitment that each man would fire at least two rounds before he ran. Mel
Gibson’s “The Patriot” borrowed from this historical precedent.
I
had this example in mind when I recently wrote about how a person would benefit
after a societal collapse if they could simply get a computer nerd or soccer
mom to fire a warning shot. – H.S.
