We open our eyes for the first and only know that we are here. we do not know why. then the habituation begins and we become who we are. All of that in this video seems barbaric to us, but you would find female defenders of the lifestyle/culture customs. I am reminded of the "civilized" whites, Mexicans and blacks, captured as children by the Comanche, which lived by western standards, a brutal and harsh lifestyle. But, repatriated to Western civilization many escaped to return to live with the Comanche.

I am reminded that throughout history, so as not to have a re-emergence of an enemy, the conquered were slaughtered. 20th Century Communists know this tactic well. I have said all along that, so as not to be wasting time, money and lives in Afghanistan, you need to round up every hard eyed bastard there and kill them. But we do not have a morale right to do that. So just get the hell out of there and leave them to their lives. This planet suffers extinction level catastrophes every so often and what will it have ever mattered then.
