Dear oliverwright,

There are no 'war time' consciences, there are only those of craven and timorous character.

You are among those who feel that when they face fear or even the possibility of fear, their own fears are of of a special class. This 'special' fear, allows them to grant themselves a permission that they would accord no 'lesser beings' even in the same circumstances.

These 'lesser beings' who can afford a conscience include their own 'peacetime' selves. That is, their own selves napping in comfy chairs. According to you, those are the people who can afford such trifles as moral certitude.

You, would-be-sir, you do not deserve to call yourself civilized. I have faced fear with dignity. So have many others before us. I shudder to think that you consider yourself capable of deciding 'matters of conscience.' I hope you haven't given yourself that opportunity. You are a monster.
