Honour in War

[manicfoot]

I once heard a story about a squad of British soldiers in WW1 trying to drag a wounded man back across No-Man's-Land to their own trench, keeping down to avoid German fire. The German commander ordered his men to stop firing, stoop up and shouted "Carry him".

I think I heard this in an interview with a veteran, not sure exactly when/where it happened though.

If that is true it is absolutely amazing! Thanks for sharing that. I have a feeling its going to stick in my mind for the rest of my life heh.

Technology has given man the power to kill without even being present. When we don't have to dismember our enemies ourselves anymore, we start to lose the feeling that we're facing an actual human.
