A Higher Standard

Regardless the justifications for killing your enemy, regardless how vile and debase we may think or even witness our enemy to be, killing the enemy should never be ‘relished’ by the soldier. As dignified, honorable people, we should NOT want to kill, but the reality of living in this world is that at times, war is necessary. But it is NOT an excuse to lower our ethos to the practice of urinating on the dead. War is not the time to let lose our hold of honor and dignity, to the contrary it is THE time we should grab hold with both hands and never let go.
