<b<"During war, in a uniform, is a time not to think but to obey automatically.

During peacetime, when rights are under attack, is a time not to obey automatically, but to think."

If confusion is your only defence, so be it. You previously stated that people should be mindless for the common good. Then you stated that people should ONLY be mindless if they were toting guns. So you glorify those who obey and kill with piano wire, and you exalt those who have a "peace-time" opinion.

During peacetime...we "THINK?" During war, we "DON'T THINK". What a brilliant approach to creating an intelligent world?

If there is a fight..."obey automatically"!!!!!
