Hmm.. You trigger my inner thoughts on killing On the battlefield or a school by a misguided Person.' Yet what of mass killings sanatized by Imperatives of health.? Should that prove an Ultimate truth.? I prefer to leave the death and Life thing to God.' But it seems there are those (who require the Blame and infamy) go figure..?

Well said; war certainly does bring us closer to, ready us for, our dying reality.
