John I gave a karma point for having the guts to admit that whe pressed you would do a nasty thing especially if ordered by an officer.
I think that people (myself included) do not want to admit how near the beast will go when pressed.
Atrocities even calculated planned ones happened from the dawn of time.
The nastiest think about them is that they work.
It is disgusting but whole nations and civilazations owe their exostance to them! It is repulsive but it is true.
And yes I agree that what is left unspoken tends to become gangrane.
I agree with Robert that today we have all this "anti atrocity" morals and organizations but nastiness happens because unfortunatelly is an effective political tool. I am scared of the thought that they may exist to appease out consince!
I belive that ancients had more the concept of revenge rather than "warcrime".
Also humans like all mamals have the sence of the pack (us vs them).
Kind regards
