Re: OT: Privatized War
why do wolves care what happens to their children? you are a mass of chemical reactions which have conspired to produce a set of memories leading to a single point in time. nothing more, and nothing less. what you percieve as 'caring' is nothing more than the consequence of a series of subatomic interactions.
oh, and while im being a jackass, i should disclaim that i have nothing but respect for Unknown Enemy, he is a far greater man than i, his spelling is better, as his command of Latin.
Now ENOUGH of this tom-foolery, and back to the discussion of the ethics and sociological consequences (good or bad) of using mercenaries or private armies. Debers (the dimond company, if i didnt spell it right) has had a standing army for years. We have used real military forces in banana-republic secnarios for the express benefit of private companies and individuals.
where do we draw the line? which side of the line are you on? I know where I am, but I am still not telling you wither or not Im joiking about it.
