I would certainly appreciate it. If it's alright for me to come and choose from what you have.

I'd return the offer, but I doubt you'll have a use for a text in Spanish, from 1898.

Compassion, even in the face of futility, others would argue, is a real virtue.

Because there wouldn't be war if there weren't things people considered worth fighting for.

Re: private drdaytimetelly August 18 2011, 00:37:24 UTC

Maybe. Maybe not. I don't assume why people fight any more. Everyone has a different reason.

Re: private iam_aghost August 18 2011, 00:43:06 UTC

True enough. I've seen men fight for a country which isn't even their own, and men fight to keep that country from self-destruction.

I've also seen the children they left behind.

So've I, Dr. Caesares.

Re: private iam_aghost August 18 2011, 01:00:57 UTC

You have?

In an army, I presume?

Re: private drdaytimetelly August 18 2011, 04:50:13 UTC

Yes. The British army.

Re: private iam_aghost August 18 2011, 10:11:19 UTC

For how long, out of interest?

And before you ask, the Argentinian Army, and... too long.

Re: private drdaytimetelly August 18 2011, 15:24:33 UTC

Nearly a decade.

Were you an army doctor or medic?

Re: private iam_aghost August 18 2011, 15:26:19 UTC

Medic at first, then a doctor. Then I got sick of war.

Can I ask why you stopped?

Re: private drdaytimetelly August 18 2011, 15:37:22 UTC

Full medical discharge. I didn't so much decide to stop as other people decided it for me.

Re: private iam_aghost August 18 2011, 15:39:05 UTC

Ah. Which would explain the... injuries, I presume.

Re: private drdaytimetelly August 18 2011, 15:54:08 UTC

...how did you....

Yes.

Re: private iam_aghost August 18 2011, 15:55:43 UTC

You limp. That's all I worked out, don't worry.

Re: private drdaytimetelly August 18 2011, 15:59:17 UTC

It's not noticeable, is it?

Normally I don't, it's just that sometimes it...happens.

Re: private iam_aghost August 18 2011, 16:25:14 UTC

No. I'm just attentive.

You don't have to explain it to me, it's alright. I apologise if I made too many assumptions.
