You will never be able to push a button and kill people. You will not avoid the horrors. War must be so terrible that people will do almost anything to avoid it. It must be the last resort and in this case, it is, but that decision can only be made by the ones with the most to lose, not someone sitting safely in an underground facility, watching it on the monitors."

About This Quote

In the book "Free Trader 4 - Battle for the Amazon," by Craig Martelle, a U.S. Special Forces Sergeant tells of a battle in an underground bunker during which he and his team had to kill some children that had been taken by guerrillas. The youngest was not more than two years old, but he had been separated from his mother and was grabbed by a soldier while she was being interrogated. As it turned out, this soldier was a midwife who had been ordered to carry out the executions while the children were in her care.
