[Six Nifty .50s]

I read this thread with interest, but I don't think that appeals for political correctness are helpful. Wars are started and finished by highly motivated people, not machines. Warfare brings out the best and worst in the participants, so why pretend that some of them are not dishonest?

As any decent police officer knows, greed, power, and a burning desire to be popular are common human impulses. I wonder how many readers of this forum would rather study pure statistics and just avoid the human aspect altogether.
