Thoughts On War

I once heard it said that War is the most unnatural state of man- it brings out the best in the worst of us, and the worst in the best of us. I try not to marvel at the freakish attitudes some men and women undertake in the face of the calculated slaughter of one people on another, but it's hard to accept nonetheless. Practiced humility in the face of those who have sacrificed in the name of protecting our way of life must be ingrained into some who weren't otherwise given it in either their DNA, or their upbringing.
