    That was also my immediate thought. My rationalization for letting it stand is that wars are an integral part of the collapse process. A graphic reminder about how real wars look like never hurts.

    However, one example and one reminder is quite enough.

      My rationalization for letting it stand is that wars are an integral part of the collapse process.

      You’re not wrong but that seems like a tenuous rationalisation to me. It’s a slippery slope. Can we post anything to do with war here now? What about protests? Are any protests fair game? Complaining about splinters (you can get splinters from cutting wood for fuel)? Cobbling (you might have to replace shoe soles due to walking miles to a water source every day)? Ad nauseum…

        Yeah, I’m aware of it being a cheap rationalization. And I’ve been removing some posts which were farther down the slope, slippery or not.

        We have had precious few posters other than me here, so I will err on the soft side to not put them off. Should the volume pick up the filtering will become stricter.
