Re: Private
What was the purpose of this empire? It doesn't sound logical, but then it rarely does.
We need to look at the bright side. Also so many would have died if they stayed at home, so there is that.
That sounds very brave and yet... coward, because ending a tyrant is never the end, but just the beginning. I'm a little partial on that option, because I have a friend who seems all too willing to risk his life. Of course, in his case, others end up dying in his place.
