There are people in this world who honestly don't understand that violence only begets violence... and that the difference between "i'm going in to end this" and "i'm going in to end this before it starts" is the difference between a hero and an animal.
History books try their very damnest to make fighting look like a positive because fighting makes the people who own the weapons and the history books make tons of money on selling ammunution... and you have to be pretty educated both in mind and in experience to get past all that bullshit.
But killing makes the born-rich richer... and until we get over this civilization-wide Stockholm Syndrome of the belief that the born-rich are protecting us by holding us down, most of us are going to be short-enough-sighted to subconsciously believe the lie that make the lucre more lukey.
