But you have no right to call me a murderer. You have a right to kill me. You have a right to do that\u2026 but you have no right to judge me.<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s impossible for words to describe what is necessary to those who do not know what horror means.<\/p>\n<p>Horror. Horror has a face\u2026 and you must make a friend of horror. Horror and moral terror are your friends. If they are not then they are enemies to be feared. They are truly enemies.<\/p>\n<p>I remember when I was with Special Forces. Seems a thousand centuries ago. We went into a camp to inoculate the children. We left the camp after we had inoculated the children for Polio, and this old man came running after us and he was crying. He couldn\u2019t see. We went back there and they had come and hacked off every inoculated arm. There they were in a pile. A pile of little arms. And I remember\u2026 I\u2026 I\u2026 I cried. I wept like some grandmother. I wanted to tear my teeth out. I didn\u2019t know what I wanted to do. And I want to remember it. I never want to forget it. I never want to forget.<\/p>\n<p>And then I realized\u2026 like I was shot\u2026 like I was shot with a diamond\u2026 a diamond bullet right through my forehead. And I thought: My God\u2026 the genius of that. The genius. The will to do that. Perfect, genuine, complete, crystalline, pure. And then I realized they were stronger than we. Because they could stand that these were not monsters. These were men\u2026 trained cadres. These men who fought with their hearts, who had families, who had children, who were filled with love\u2026 but they had the strength\u2026 the strength\u2026 to do that.<\/p>\n<p>If I had ten divisions of those men our troubles here would be over very quickly. You have to have men who are moral\u2026 and at the same time who are able to utilize their primordial instincts to kill without feeling\u2026 without passion\u2026 without judgment\u2026 without judgment.<\/p>\n<p>Because it\u2019s judgment that defeats us.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p>\u00ab\u202fJ\u2019ai vu des horreurs\u2026 des horreurs que vous aussi vous avez vues. Mais vous n&rsquo;avez pas le droit de me traiter d\u2019assassin. vous avez le droit de me tuer. Vous avez le droit de le faire\u2026 mais vous n&rsquo;avez pas le droit de me juger.<\/p>\n<div>\n<p>Il est impossible pour les mots de d\u00e9crire ce qui est n\u00e9cessaire \u00e0 ceux qui ne connaissent pas ce que signifie l\u2019horreur.<\/p>\n<p>L\u2019horreur. L\u2019horreur a un visage\u2026 et vous devez faire de l\u2019horreur une amie. L\u2019horreur et la terreur morale sont vos amies. Si elles ne le sont pas, alors ce sont des ennemies \u00e0 redouter. De v\u00e9ritables ennemies.<\/p>\n<p>Je me souviens quand j\u2019\u00e9tais avec les forces sp\u00e9ciales. Cela semble remonter \u00e0 mille si\u00e8cles. Nous sommes all\u00e9s dans un camp pour vacciner les enfants. Nous avons quitt\u00e9 le camp apr\u00e8s les avoir vaccin\u00e9s contre la polio, et un vieil homme est venu en courant derri\u00e8re nous en pleurant. Il ne voyait pas. Nous sommes retourn\u00e9s l\u00e0-bas et ils \u00e9taient venus et avaient coup\u00e9 tous les bras vaccin\u00e9s. Ils \u00e9taient l\u00e0, en tas. Un tas de petits bras. Et je me souviens\u2026 je\u2026 je\u2026 j\u2019ai pleur\u00e9. J\u2019ai sanglot\u00e9 comme une vieille grand-m\u00e8re. J\u2019ai voulu m\u2019arracher les dents. Je ne savais pas ce que je voulais faire. Et je veux m\u2019en souvenir. Je ne veux jamais l\u2019oublier. Je ne veux jamais l\u2019oublier.<\/p>\n<p>Et puis j\u2019ai compris\u2026 comme si j\u2019avais \u00e9t\u00e9 frapp\u00e9\u2026 comme si j\u2019avais \u00e9t\u00e9 transperc\u00e9 par une balle de diamant, une balle de diamant en plein front. Et j\u2019ai pens\u00e9\u202f: Mon Dieu\u2026 le g\u00e9nie de \u00e7a. Le g\u00e9nie. La volont\u00e9 de faire cela. Parfait, authentique, complet, cristallin, pur. Et alors j\u2019ai compris qu\u2019ils \u00e9taient plus forts que nous. Parce qu\u2019ils pouvaient accepter cela. Ceux-l\u00e0 n\u2019\u00e9taient pas des monstres. C\u2019\u00e9taient des hommes\u2026 des cadres entra\u00een\u00e9s. Des hommes qui combattaient avec leur c\u0153ur, qui avaient des familles, des enfants, qui \u00e9taient remplis d\u2019amour\u2026 mais qui avaient la force\u2026 la force\u2026 de faire cela.<\/p>\n<p>Si j\u2019avais dix divisions de ces hommes, nos probl\u00e8mes ici seraient r\u00e9gl\u00e9s tr\u00e8s rapidement. Il faut des hommes qui soient moraux\u2026 et en m\u00eame temps capables d\u2019utiliser leurs instincts primordiaux pour tuer sans ressentir\u2026 sans passion\u2026 sans jugement\u2026 sans jugement.<\/p>\n<p>Parce que c\u2019est le jugement qui nous d\u00e9fait.\u202f\u00bb<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>\u201cI\u2019ve seen horrors\u2026 horrors that you\u2019ve seen.
