Have you ever found yourself quietly backing away when a problem emerges? Maybe it’s an email you’re dreading, a difficult conversation you’d rather not have, a health issue you’ve been ignoring, or a habit that you know needs to change.

To kill or not to kill, that is the question.
Talking to a special forces soldier, a real warrior, the conversation turned to a situation involving a mission in Afghanistan where while he and three members of his team were approaching their target in a remote hut on a hillside containing high level leaders of a terrorist cell that they were tasked with eliminating. Not only the leaders, but their security detail. It was a high stakes mission, and if it went sideways, they could be in serious trouble. They were in enemy territory with no backup, only their training and skills to help them succeed . The targets were bad people, responsible for killing hundreds of people, civilian and military. And it was a war, so the operation was legal and necessary to prevent more killings. None of that was in doubt. It was hot, very hot. The ground was rocky, and the grass was tall and brown and they crept closer and closer to the hut. They spotted two sentries on guard out side the hut, and a third sitting under a tree. They were armed with AK 47 rifles, They silently planned their approach by giving hand signals to each other. They all knew what to do. Take out the sentries silently and by hand, with knives. They were trained for this, they were deadly killers. They crept forward, seperating to close in on their targets. Just then, a herd of goats crossed in front of them, with a young boy carrying a stick. The herder. Doing his job. He was oblivious to the concealed soldiers in the bush through which he was walking, until he saw one of them, and was about to scream with fright and alert the sentries down by the hut. Quickly, the soldier reared up and and covered his mouth to prevent him from screaming, and wrestled him to the ground, overwhelming his slight body with his heavy muscular body. A team mate crawled over to help him, and they tied him up and gagged him. They didn’t want to hurt him, or knock him unconscious. Once he was imobilized, one soldier stayed with him while the other crawled over to the team leader for instructions. “What should we do with him. He looks about 13, an innocent boy. He’s terrified”.the soldier whispered into the team leader’s ear. “You have to kill him. We can’t afford to let him escape and spread the alarm. We still have to complete our mission and get out of here.” The team leader replied. “ he’s a casualty of war.”
