100% agree. When I went through basic training in the military, we had to run a course stabbing all these figures with our bayonets and even though it was training, it did feel very close to home. To end a humans life in such a way.
It is hard to reply to such topics in a manner that comes across as civilised. I hope nobody thinks I am being a tad to antagonistic.
