Subject: RE: WWI, was No-Man's Land
I must say, I'm extremely suspicious of all these contexts and perspectives being proposed in order, it seems, to justify hundreds of executions for stuff that wouldn't even get you a suspended sentence in civilian life. All's fair in love and war, eh? Not entirely sure about that. And again, we have conflation here. It seems to me that an execution for falling asleep on sentry duty isn't heaps better just because it isn't "summary".
