As part of the ideals in action course the red cross asks people to think like a soldier, a series of statements are then read out and you have to decide how you would react.

It always suprises me how many people have no concept of what it it to be a soldier, the difference between innocent civilians and "your son was killed in action" can be a fraction of a second. Its so easy to be self righteous sitting in your comfy armchair if it not your damb son risking his life.
