Alas, Richard, I must disagree with you... Not strictly with what you say, but
with what you don't say...

When I think of modern warfare, I think of the struggles of America in the
past century, particularly the World Wars, Korea, Viet Nam...

I can not find much honor in the way all sides fought these military actions...
Indeed, I am not sure that I can go so far as to agree that these actions were
very civilized...

I will grant that you are correct in your assessment of how history portrays
conduct in previous times... I grant that many of the practices of the Middle
Ages were also not civilized... But, if the issue is honor, I must hold firm
in my belief that the modern war machine does not consider honor to be part
of the codes of conduct, whereas the true Knight did...

And here again I must disagree...

Count it the greatest sin to prefer mere existence to honour,
and for the sake of life to lose the reasons for living.
			-Juvenal

Perhaps it is in the best interest of all that I never lead soldiers into
battle...

I don't really know? I just turned 30 dec 21st, and I really don't give
a damn. I mean, I'm still me, and that's what counts, right??? Maybe
society as a whole sets up some stigma about the 'BIG ONE'? Who knows. I
have some friends that went blue for a few weeks after their 30th. 

Mary-Ann, you are as young as you feel and do!!!! ALWAYS remember that!
