It is hard to imagine anything more blindingly absurd. Think of it........a
bunch of grown men and women professionally trained and highly
motivated......and PAID.....to go out and break each other's ****.

Fortuantely, we are not required to imagine anything more
absurd........there's already combat WITH casualties.

And thus the end of civilization begins...

Actually, if it were to come to pass (and yes, of course, we all know it
won't), it would be more like the beginning of civilization ends.

They would do well to heed the words of the great general
Robert E. Lee:

"It is well that war is so terrible, else men would learn
to love it too much."

Lee grossly misjudged men's capacity to love.
