NLD General Peter van Uhm TED Speech on YouTube

[OldSolduer]

I see "doing Good" as the immediate effect of an act.  That's what I mean.  And yes, it's a good thing (small "g") that we are there, and Good (capital "G") is the result.  But I don't like messages being dressed up is all.  Because the immediate effect of an assault rifle being used in its intended role is severe trauma to a person, often resulting in death.

That's all.

And some folk need a good killin.

Its unfortunate that some good folks get killed as well.

In WW2 my Dad helped to make a whole bunch of 'Good Nazis' as he called them. His guns were of a larger calibre though!

General van UHM talks about why he chose the military as a career. His son was killed in Afghanistan.

Someone posted this a while ago in another thread I think.

Still worth re-posting it though.  Great video and great speech.
