Men in my platoon who had served time in Vietnam told me many stories—but none more chilling than the one from two helicopter pilots. They told me how they would shoot the friendlies on their way back from reconnaissance missions just so they could empty their ammunition before returning to base.

Even strangers, who normally had very little protection in antiquity, except when they were citizens of a strong neighbouring state which might step in and protect them by force of arms, are exceptionally well cared for by Mosaic law.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6730</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Was Andy Warhol a bisexual? ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/31159]]></link><description><![CDATA[Was Andy Warhol a bisexual?]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/31159</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Oh! that the memories which survive us here Were half so lovely as these wings of thine!  Pure relics ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/16229]]></link><description><![CDATA[Oh! that the memories which survive us here Were half so lovely as these wings of thine!  Pure relics of a blameless life, that shine   Now thou art gone.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/16229</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Character cannot be developed in ease and quiet.
