"When you have to kill a man, it costs nothing to be polite."
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.

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.
