To: A Simple Soldier
Dear Sir:
This is sounding worse by the minute. Why were the soldiers charged? Was it because the Kilntoon Kommando Korps types at JAG knew they didn't have the wealth or contacts to defend themselves?
Have either you or the JAGies considered the long history of the Middle East wherein power is understood, as is vengence. Much of what we consider civilized behavior is viewed as weakness by our Middle Eastern enemy.
We seem to be facing something of a conundrum. Act like a gentleman and be seen as a weakling or act in an uncivilized manner and be respected (or at least feared).
To arrive at an answer, we must decide which is more important - victory or futile attempts to play gentleman amongst crazed fanatics?
