The orders had come through. Stop the war machine at all costs. Machine? It was easy for them to call it a machine. Their radar didn't show the faces he was now staring into. Faces of those who shouldn't be here. Faces of those who were no different from him. Faces, he knew all too well, were the only thing standing between himself, and going home. 2008-03-09T23:14:32Z http://ficlets.com/feed/story/19970 <p>Very good look at the dehumanization of war.

There really is this huge gap between modern warfare and what war really means. This reminded me so much of Introversion&#8217;s Defcon game. I always think about all those people that a single blip represents.</p> http://ficlets.com/stories/19970?basename=38321 2008-02-02T17:04:05Z Sturek http://ficlets.com/authors/sturek <p>Thanks, wasn&#8217;t expcting that so soon after my second ficlet :D</p> http://ficlets.com/stories/19970?basename=38295 2008-02-02T13:30:17Z Geek Mythology http://ficlets.com/authors/geek_mythology <p>Really enjoyed this one.
