Re: [OT] We Were Soldiers

THE  ENEMY AS A FELLOW HUMAN COMES MOSTLY AFTER THE WAR, 

AND NOT DURING ANY WAR FOUGHT WITH  "A NO QUARTER!" ATTITUDE INTRODUCED
BY ONE COMBATANT, THEN	PAYED BACK BY THE OTHER.

THE ENEMY was NOT HUMAN as long as he/she/it was capable of being a
threat to life or limb of me or  mine.

wounded, or surrendered, and not having participated in any known
atrocity, thy were treated well.

BUT. . . .

 the  MOST DANGEROUS TIME for any combatant, wounded or unwounded, who
tries to surrender is  within 30 minutes of the cease fire.

adrenalin. and anger directed towards the  enemy who throws in the
towel and cries "i surrender dear!" after killing or injuring  a
soldiers buddies, runs hot and dangerous during this  time. . . .

in my war.

and in all wars.

look for it and you will find it there in a combat infantry unit, from
sad sacks to elites. most dangerous with elites!
