Now HERE is a story line that uniforms can interpret! As we approach the
millenium, saying we are a civilized people, professing as a nation to hold
to Judaeo-Christian ethics under God, we are no different in this respect
than all other living creatures down through the eons.

>The truth is that the human species, like a zillion other species, has
abundant aggressive tendencies to ensure survival. 50,000 years or so of
organized human culture is a relatively short time on the biological clock -
so aggression, murder, and mayhem will continue to be part of the human
story. Military uniforms are only symbols of the Nation-State, but there
have always been all sorts of manner of ways of marking warriors in tribal
societies - tattoos, paint, costume, et.al.
