The reseson we do not use weapons of mass destruction is not because the rules say that we can not use them, but because we fear the consequences, mutual destruction. No one wins.

The statement you made really doesn't fit into the logical discussion I have tried to encourage. Maybe you just read the first post and made a response. Scroll down and read all. I think some fundamental truths are being explored.
Otherwise, please don't preach me a sermon. This popular ethical tripe is what I have heard all of my life. Its easy to say, "you don't know what war is like" but you probably know just as little as I do about real war. I can only speculate. It seems pretty mature and responsibe to condemn war but the really wise ones will try to understand it.
BTW billions HAVE NOT DIED for my freedom etc. Thats a nice way to think about it but the truth is that many have died for the agendas of others.

Actually the "sell the house sell the car sell the kids, I'm not coming back. FORGET IT" was a letter from another assassin sent before willard to kill Kurtz.
The name of the Lt. Col of the Air Cav who said "I love the smell of napalm..." was Kilgore.
Great flick. I base most of these morality of war concepts on Kurtz.

Why can't the world learn the lessons of CIV2? Happyness is found behind the lance, we should put these unnatural goals of peace aside and get together for some un-adulterated combat... I mean what would a roman soldier say about our battlefield morality.. "No killing civilians! Stop bombing afghanistan!" No way! He'd be the one raping the women and claiming the spoils! We are restricting war, making rules. Its time to shut those liberals up, and those whiney crybaby minorities. We should get back to our roots, lets not restrict ourselves when it comes to killing each other, by god its what we do best! After all, General Patton said "All of man's other endeavors pale in comparison to war"
Can I get an Amen!? Can I get a hallelujah?!
