Nonfighting nonvictims (03/05/22 18:58:54)
Essential people in a country under siege have their troubles too. Health personnel, who have to see, treat and comfort victims - and support the relatives; transport workers - bus and taxi drivers, sailors - they are targets too, but frequntly are forgotten. (One tragic group (I am now talking about .no and WWI and WWII) were sailors in the merchant navy. They had to live with the threat of torpedoes from unlimited submarine warfare - and the high risk of being in North Atlantic water within the next five minutes. The way they were treated after the wars is a neverending disgrace and an unremovable spot on the powers that be.)
So we have a duty to be generous and forgiving to the central as well as the peripheral victims.
