Reply #111: I can't believe you're getting such backlash from your post.

To me your intention was clear. No excusing anyone. War atrocities should not be forgotten. The fact that humans exist that would actually consider war as a legitimate means is a frightful thought in itself. We put ourselves in grave danger by forgetting the consequences of hatred and greed. The perspective you have shown is one not spoken of much at all. I believe you have done so without diminishing the horrors committed on any side. It's so sad how the military (of any nation, any era) kills so many who would have nothing to do with the conflict in the first place. There is no "honor" in that. There is no honor in war, period.
