#1 Read the Vanity Fair article. It speaks enough of the truth. The man has to be accurately defined. I believe the article to be well written. One can appreciate the emotions of the writer in the presence of an authentic man who makes his living and his purpose in life from shooting other men.

I find it comforting personally to see God in the intimate life of such an individual. He is right about some people being sheep dogs for the rest of mankind. And SLA Marshall WAS right about 6 men out of 100 doing 85% of the kills in combat.

It IS the truth that the vast majority of men can not bring themselves to kill even when trained to do so. I think its genetic. I think its built into most men at an almost DNA level, they CANT kill. Six in a 100, can. I find that a pledge to human decency.

You dont know if you are one of the six, and you cant be identified even by yourself. You only find out you are one of them when you actually do a kill. And once you are in you can never come back out again.

Its a Revelation. And he's right about you cant be identified by outward appearance. They look like everybody else. Ordinary. Just men.

Six men in a hundred do 85% of the kills. To find one you look with men... who are. That's how you identify and recruit them. You send one who is... to find one. You see outwardly by knowing inwardly.
You are the touchstone , like finds like.

You're in favor of killing them yourself, or you're in favor of them being killed by that 1 in 6 that Angleton9 refers to?

#4 Damn! I meant 6 in 100.
