You're a soldier? Then act like one!

When wars wherever are fought, fair, foul, feint, the tactics tried, pursued, purely, purposefully are throughout targeted to the termination of the one opponent by the other. It consequently stands to reason that those who are serious warriors, will ensure life for the enemy is uneasy, whether war ends in warrior victory or not. Which is why bobby traps were invented, are manufactured and deployed.

Now, in modern times, depending to the viciousness of the warrior, in order to retain a stranglehold on possessed or captured territory, the subsurface is literally turned into a minefield -step, or drive over one and, "Voodoom!!!" that's the end of you and those in close proximity. Pity the fool then who rushes in where angels fear to tread. Pity, too, the innocent who, war ended, resume/commence their daily routines as if war never was.

Which begs the question: Why it is that after some wars, persons who claim to be warriors and or trained soldiers, on encountering a landmine left behind by the enemy, rather than defusing it, on it step, or, worse yet, instead of sounding and alarm, summon fellow warriors close to "enjoy the explosion", causing well-intentioned to be blown to smithereens?


Don't they understand politics is war?
