Civility is of paramount importance. Speaking truth is its own defense.

As I've mentioned before, anger is a choice and ultimately a distraction and a tool for the enemy.

Stay frosty.

Agreed. There is nothing to be gained by being rude if you have to whack somebody.

re: "Of the letter, Churchill later wrote: "Some people did not like this ceremonial style. But after all when you have to kill a man it costs nothing to be polite."[2]"

I have noted a number of effectively chilling movie scenes over the years, have used such seeming contradiction of affect and intent. No, I can't name them right now.

Sometimes you have to send a message.
Sometimes you need to let them know WHY they're about to meet their maker.

Sometimes that stuff aint pretty.

Like the tense opening scene of Inglorious Basterds, with the overly friendly Hans Landa in the farmhouse?
