sometimes it is better to make quick clean cuts and cauterize rather than have the patient bleed out and die .
As one sitting at Okinawa waiting to Invade Japan I wholeheartedly agree with dropping the "BOMB" (when it comes to push vs shove) I valued my hide more than theirs. OR if you don't agree "Yours Too".
