Why is it sick? Killing is an extremely hard thing to have to do, and I for one am glad there are people who kill so that I don't have to go through the experience of killing someone, how is that at all disrespectful? That I commend people doing something extremely hard that I would have a hard time doing myself?

Hyperion: Now we have to justify ourselves to you? Trust us when we say it was sick.

The problem you have is lack of trust and an unjustified feeling of superior thought. Trust is something that is learned and advice given by people who are experienced is invaluable. Maybe you should just listen at times and figure it out when you mature. It is not about you and your small universe.

You need to experience the loss of someone in war to understand that honor is a shared responsibility among comrades. It is never taken lightly and people get very sensitive about the subject.

Do you walk up to mourners at funerals and tell them that you are happy that the person who died because of the effect it had on you?

The subject is closed and when something says SILENT POST maybe you should try to understand what that means.

Count it the greatest sin to prefer life to honor, and for the sake of living to lose what makes it worth living.
