Yep, that's what I was telling Radar in the other thread. What's REALLY depressing is that I hear a book called "The Art of Killing" is the text for training our "warriors" nowdays. There was an interview on CNN or some similar station with the author of this book, one of our top experts in training the military. This assumes that the normal compunctions about blowing the shit out of another person you never met before can be overcome and "trained" out of a recruit and will have been so done before he is equipped for "action in the field." How does it make all of you feel to know that someday YOU could fall under the category of "action in the field" as far as this fine soldier is concerned?
