Rapaire, of course soldiers are people. That's what I worry about. They are individuals who have signed an agreement to follow orders, which if they disagree with, they can be either put into prision, or in time of war, shot.

Being in the military means one gives up one's right to being an individual in ways I find difficult to understand, much less agree with.

I know there have been times that individuals have had to band together and fight some great insanities perpetrated by other bands of individuals...but it all is so damned depressing to me.

Okay, back to my cave again...xx..e
