The Agrinautica

This is a fantastic story. I understand that during WWII (don't know if it was a common practice during the era depicted here), it was a routine sniper tactic to wound a man, not kill him, because no one would leave a wounded man behind, so then the sniper would pick off the men who came to help him. This is a situation you certainly don't hear about every day, and I think you summed it up best with the line, ". . . against a people who were his enemy for some very obscure reason. Easier to war against a people if we forget that they're human. And hard to maintain that perspective when they do things like this.
