“War is fought at the cost of heroes, and innocents.”

If you can’t be a hero, get out of their way, lest more innocents die. If you don’t understand, don’t try because you never will. Life, as Hobbes says, is “solitary, poor, nasty, brutish, and short”. Don’t shorten mine, or that of my friends and family, because you won’t let your sensibilities be offended. I will not have this discussion with people who have not walked the walk.
