You need to study the mongols. They were better warriors with less
equipment. Germany wasn't burnt to the ground.

Coast Guard mop duty counts for squat. You're a wimp with no ability to

OK, so let's follow that "logic": you believe that folks who do
"wrong"
do not deserve help/protection/life preservation. Now, unless you
are the world's biggest hypocrite, you ought to believe that *you*
fall
under those same rules. Which means, once *you* have done "wrong"
your life no longer needs to be preserved by anyone else.

So, once *again*, I ask you: is this your belief? That if you should
get into any kind of trouble, the rest of the world should just walk
right past you to let you wallow in misery?

This is what makes you near-Evil. Technically, the behavior
is Neutral, but the intent behind your behavior is *seriously*
misanthropic and malevolent, ergo, Evil.
