I disagree. I think today warfare is more civilized than in the previous
times. Conventional warfare, not nuclear that is. There are code of conduct
in today's armed forces that is rigourously enforced. Treatment of POW and
civilian on the majority is better in this century than before. In the an-
cient times, this honor code is not enforced rigourously. A commander
basically has the ultimate power on his soldiers, which is not true today.
How many times have you read in history books about city sacking,
atrocities that is commited on civilians by these "supposedly" chivalric
knights? What happened to the atrocities that is "sanctioned by God" 
during the Crusades? What happened to prisoners that couldn't afford or
has nobody that would pay their ransom? Slavery or death would most likely
be their fates. Again, I submit that for the most part, conduct of war in
modern times are more honourable than previously.

Like Rip would sez, it's more unfortunate to lose your life because you 
value your honour and fairness above all. Or worse, to lose hundreds of
lives because you think of your own honor first.

We're have so many varied RFA application stories.  Each one reflects the
author.  And all that is required in the stories is romance and a romantic
fire of some sort.  And I would say I've seen some creative story writing in
regards to the romantic fire. :)   Isn't romance a beautiful thing.  And it
can be expressed in so many ways....

Self destruction I think. How's that, Ms. West? You know, in all my years 
in the US, I have never known a person with "East" as their LastName. Is 
there such a person? Come to think about it, there is "North" but no
"South". Interesting, don't you think?

ARG! This is worse than a soap opera! If only English would fix the problem

They mean appreciate you very much and am glad you are concerned for their

but I have never seen any good reason to be. After all, people should already
know I care about them, or not.
