Lieutenant has been arrested and I think he will face a murder trial .
But do you think the lieutenant is the ´real guilty one´ in this incident?
Lets think in a different way; lets think that those 4 young soldiers are not dead..
The lieutenant, possibly, would be telling this story to his children with a great pride!!
Nobody would come up and say ´hey stupid, that is someone´s life you are playing with´.
There would be many people who would go and say ´what a great commander´ about him!!
There is a system up there that will go with ´homeland-nation-state´ etc..
People will glorify these abstract values and the majority will NOT think the value of an individual´s life is important at all..
When you think in the same wave length, many sacred values are all around..´defending the homeland´, ´sacred depth to our country´, ´discipline´, ´if the subject it homeland the rest is irrelevant´ etc. The least sacred one is ´a human´s life´!!
Think of "andimiz" which we talked about long time ago..
Remember rhetoric such as ´I went to the army, my son went to the army, my aunt could have been in the army, we are all proud - - etc ).
Think of all those nationalistic words we have heard and hear here..
When you look at the lieutenant from this angle, he did do nothing wrong!!
He was trying to teach the importance of losing a weapon given by the army; he was trying to teach how sacred and how important the watch duty is!
He was doing his job between the borders of the system..
