There's a lot of truth in what Teribus says.

The incontravertible truth is that war is brutal and sickening, one cant blame those involved in trying to eliminate everything they see perceive as a danger to themselves and their comrades....that is what soldiers are taught above anything else.

The problem now, is that military technology is so weighted in favour of one side in these conflicts, that it can all look like indiscriminate slaughter.

It all seems too easy for our side, especially for those of us who were opposed to military action right from the start.

The deployment of "smart" weapons, like drones, dehumanises the process even further.....I fear we are slipping into a real life horror movie, where human life and human values become as nothing.

Power and survival are all that matters, exactly the ideology that Teribus quite rightly attributes to the present military mindset.

We have indeed become "worse than animals"

Perhaps, if some here, would spend a little time contemplating the real problems facing humanity, rather than running round in ever decreasing circles digging up new "rights" to grant to behavioural minorities, we might be able to change things
