The quintessential soldier...
2:44PM on March 18, 2010

If you had to make this decision:

To save thousands of people (maybe millions)

One or maybe ten people have to die...

You have to kill them...

Could you do what needed to be done ???

A soldier carries out his duties without exception... Without question... Could you be the quintessential soldier ???

I was reminded of this from a older television episode of Twilight Zone or outr limits... idk....

This man found himself in Germany while Hitler was a baby... He had the opportunity to kill the baby (with the knowledge of what would happen if he didn't, how many would die, how it would change the world). Still he missed his opportunity.
