Thought Exercise

Imagine for a second that your neighborhood has been bombed for months on end. You have seen both family and friends die before your very eyes. The culprits are now driving tanks through your streets, raiding homes and murdering in plain sight. What do you do?

Even more interesting to know is this, who do you think the better people? Those that resist or those that seek the favor of the conquerors? The rebels or the sycophants?

Of course, most people will just keep their heads down and pray that misfortune doesn’t come their way even when death is whispering in their ears. Of the two options I mentioned above I know which side I would be on.

Final question for the day: Who is more efficient? An extremely high tech massive army founded with billions of dollars and failing at holding down a small country or a small ragtag band of various enraged people bleeding the conquerors dry?
