    During the American Revolution Soldiers weren’t the only ones who were at high risk of death. For example in the small town of Redding, Connecticut there was a variety of different opinions on war. Unlike like most happy stories and fairytales there was no good side, there might have been a good cause but no side was considered innocent. The Patriots were killing someone for a crime they did or looked like they were committing even if they were fighting for their side. The British were exaggerating situations to get a chance to execute a fellow loyalist or Patriot. In the book My Brother Sam is Dead by, James Lincoln Collier and Christopher Collier,…

    “That was a stupid action, because we had to make a frontal attack on bristling German guns and there was no shelter at all… There were dead bodies all over the place where previous battalions and regiments had taken part in previous attacks. What a bashing we got. There were heaps of men everywhere – not one or two men, but heaps of men, all dead. Even before went over, we knew this was death. We just couldn’t take High Wood against machineguns. It was ridiculous. There was no need for it. It was just absolute slaughter.”…

    Browning analyzes the accounts of these men as they were tried 20 years after the events, and he carefully speculates about motives. Overall, Browning exemplifies how truly ordinary the policemen in Battalion 101 were. The book leaves the reader to place him or herself in much the same situation. A systematic pattern continues as the book progresses. Each time Battalion 101 has the assignment of resettlement, the process by which they operate becomes a little more organized and refined. The division of labor among the men becomes more fine-tuned, and the specialization of tasks becomes more efficient. The men have experienced shooting so many Jews that they become experts on how to make the killing as indirect and removed as possible, while remaining efficient. Men are at first in close proximity to their victim, with immediate interaction, but after they become specialized, the men realize that if they just shoot them into mass graves, the Jews become faceless and the men are not as intimately involved with their victims. This allows the men of Battalion 101 to be more efficient killers because the more removed a man was from the killing, the more methodical that man can become when committing…

    The Hangman’s Duty When duty and conscience clash, which should be the victor? This was the question that raced through the mind of Captain Edward Fairfax Vere, as he decided what to do after Billy Budd killed the Master-at-arms, John Claggart. Everyone agrees that Captain Vere sympathized with Billy, but some people believe that being an abject slave of one’s emotions and a miserable prisoner of one’s feelings and the so called mistaken impulse of the heart, should be considered greater than the sacred call of duty and the honour in keeping an oath to uphold the king’s law. Captain Vere should have sentence foretop man, Billy Budd to death for three reasons.…

    So the Bradley rolled back, and we rolled back. And I had to shoot the position-caller before I could shoot the actual shooter. He didn't have a gun, but I knew what he was doing. He was the one calling out what's going on. He was on the phone. So I sent a shot up 20 feet above him and below him and to the side of him. And he just stood there. On his phone, talking the whole time. Innocent people ran. The bad guys stay and fight. If they're not running, they're going to be calling. That's the way I see it. So I shot him and he freaked out and stood still but I was so sorry. I cannot take that type of chance again. I had to start making these moral decisions. Better to be judged by 12 than carried by six. After that happened I thought, well, now I'm damned. I've done the worst thing possible and there's not much more worse you can do than shoot an unarmed person. It's not just that man, now I gotta deal with this and remember this forever. It's like, man, I hope nobody saw that, because I'll go to jail, too. You kind’ve feel so horrible and You kind of die inside. There's really nothing beneath me now. I'm at the bottom of the barrel. So basically you're worried about salvation and people finding out these dirty little secrets.Imagine living in this…
