Sunday with Orwell: "They are only doing their duty, as the saying goes"
George Orwell sez: “As I write, highly civilized human beings are flying overhead trying to kill me. They do not feel any enmity against me as an individual, nor I against them. They are only doing their duty, as the saying goes. Most of them, I have no doubt, are kind-hearted law-abiding men who would never dream of committing murder in private life. On the other hand, if one of them succeeds in blowing me to pieces with a well-placed bomb, he will never sleep any worse for it. He is serving his country, which has the power to absolve him from evil.”
(London, 1941)
American soldiers “only doing their duty” as they keep the world safe for democracy and preserve our way of life (Iraq, 2006):
Andy Warhol sez: “They say that time changes things, but you actually have to change them yourself.”
