http://www.opednews.com/articles/Wel...91117-252.html Wow! what a great article! Here is the beginning: There are two kinds of courage in war - physical courage and moral courage. Physical courage is very common on the battlefield. Men and women on both sides risk their lives, place their own bodies in harm's way. Moral courage, however, is quite rare. According to Chris Hedges, the brilliant New York Times war correspondent who survived wars in Latin America, Africa, the Middle East and the Balkans, “I rarely saw moral courage. Moral courage is harder. It requires the bearer to walk away from the warm embrace of comradeship and denounce the myth of war as a fraud, to name it as an enterprise of death and immorality, to condemn himself, and those around him, as killers. It requires the bearer to become an outcast. There are times when taking a moral stance, perhaps the highest form of patriotism, means facing down the community, even the nation.” ,,,continued at the above url... -- Each person has an individual responsibility to determine if his actions are moral, and no government or army may ever take that responsibility away. definition: murder - the unjustifiable and intentional killing of people, NO EXCEPTIONS. |
