Well said, men. Let us also remember the mothers of soldiers who die. Apart from the servicemen who return with horrific pain and disabilities, I think they are the greatest victims of war. Mothers of most mammal species will give everything for their offspring including their lives (as sambar hunters noticed after the Victorian 2006-7 fires); for a woman to see the child she suffered to bear, suckled, cleaned up, fed and worried over for two decades die for any reason is a psychic pain approaching the worst that battle can inflict.
