Okay. While off topic I respect your "consideration" but stand firm in my use of "war" and "worst."

FYI, armed or otherwise violent combat is not the only madness of war...come to think of it, it is just a (and get this) small necessary part.

So, comparatively speaking, it would be ‘worse’ to participate in a war than to participate in the kidnapping, rape and murder of a 10 year old girl?

Are you sure about that?

Because I’m feeling pretty certain that’s a morally tenuous position…at best.

"War is an ugly thing, but not the ugliest of things. The decayed and degraded state of moral and patriotic feeling which thinks that nothing is worth war is much worse. The person who has nothing for which he is willing to fight, nothing which is more important than his own personal safety, is a miserable creature and has no chance of being free unless made and kept so by the exertions of better men than himself."
-- John Stuart Mill
