Well, that depends. Someone volunteering for camp guard duty in the
Nazi military might fit that description. And I suppose that in our
own history, one could find some times when it might at least be
tantalizingly close.

But in general, no.
Military members train hard to stay alive, protect each other, and at
least in some cases accomplish their mission with as little loss of
life as possible--including the lives of their opponents.

I'd say more, but there are other newsgroups that have the
political/war discussions way off topic. I'd just as soon not see this
one go there as well.

So, anyone want to ask me about my flight to Texas?
