= Could you explain your statement below:
=
= the first time you witness a small child begging for chocolate
= exploded by a remote control pressed by her father, you understand
= --you do not necessarily like it, it's just survival.
=
= Why was the child exploded? To kill the soldier it was requesting
= chocolate from?
=
human life is cheap in many non-Western countries, particularly
the orient. Female children are considered expendable (in China
where parents are limited to one child; the abortion of a female
fetus is common).
children in war zones have always begged chocalate from
soldiers and even a small child can pack enough plastiques to wipe
out an entire patrol.
as I said, it is one or the other --the child dies either way,
and explosives are very messy.
no matter how war movies are glorified for joe six-pack, war is
still hell.
