I've done it more than once. I never found a good reason why. And society never found a good reason either. I think I will call it the way I am. Is that okay with you? Or do you need a society stamp on it?

I f*ng hate cowardice, and I define it differently.
Adapting to what other tells tyou to do. that's what I call cowardice.

Do you think you can?

We won't know, will we?

Why I'm getting tired of you
Hiding.

A lot of Bs by people never tested.

A real democracy will sort that out.

It's easy to kill. Just become a sniper, and shoot.
it's a lot harder to put yourself in a position where you might lose your life, saving someone you don't even know.

What is the honor in killing while hiding?

yor_on · « **Reply #11309 on:** 04/07/2020 20:14:57 »

F* no, there's no honor to it. It may save other lives but don't talk about honor.

Every life is unique.

Well, you buy your experiences from video games and Hollywood.

If you're lucky you never will wake up.
Lucky as in needing to look at yourself.

that's the guys that gives you the war stories.
the other ones just don't want to talk about it.

If you want to be clear about it, it's the difference between a soldier, and a brave, or warrior. War's is not a test of bravery any more, it's a test of who has the best logistics, the best tools and the best support. There is always place for innovations, but they don't come until the rest is expended. Well, presuming we don't go ftl?

It's about the costs of a war, the one that can afford it versus the ones that can't.
And what tools you use.

Why Iran becomes a 'threat'. It's not because they suddenly invented something new. It's the tool they might get access too.

Looking at us I think 'failed' fits.

71,419 Sweden Total Deaths 5,420
8,926 Norway Total Deaths 251

There is a lot of excuses for the figures, and a truth in the seriousness of how we handle statistics, compared to some.
