Starting a pinned thread of "cats in war", a terribly interesting element of humans trying to be human while killing other humans. To start, a famous one from Korea which presents this paradox in full specter. Obliging @Erikhistorian and @pptsapper and anyone else to submit.

(btw--I'm a 40 year veteran of diabetes, so my military knowledge is very limited. Any of my friendly dudes who wish to supplement photos with expertise, have at it.)
