In war, shooting first is less important than shooting last. Competency is ultimately rewarded. Just think of David, been true for thousands of years. Incredible slingshot, ruthless. Take out the giant first.
These are not humane conditions, fire and smoke and ashes. Mercy for the quiters, but no dignity remains. White flaggers. They should hang their heads for the rest of their days, forgiven or not. Crumbled, mumbled, humbled pie.
Lemon juicing, making the sour face. Bitter it up, pout. Frown more. Send a statement, call a press conference, proclamate. Cry.
