| Message | 1. We should watch closely who we sell arms to, so we wouldn't be arming our future enemies. 2, 4 - Those tools are only to be used as a deterrent because of their power, and ability to harm non-combatants. Therefore we should use it only for retaliation 5. Women can be distracting for men (and other way around), which can be deadly on the battlefield 3. see above |
