Heinlein Friday preview: Laws of War
This week's Heinlein Friday may be a bit delayed by the unavoidable, inevitable, ineffable unfolding of the Universe. Current ETA is this coming Friday, August 11th.
However, I can tell you that the next HF will involve
- discussion of Heinlein
- discussion of the laws governing the military, and their conduct in warfare
- " of the Geneva conventions
- " of war crimes
- " of detaining combatants
- " of detaining civilians
- " of killing civilians (hint: don't)
There's already been some mention of the above, particularly when I mentioned law and justice in the military, like in Starship Troopers.
It will also, I warn you in advance, be very quoteful. Quotatious, I'm calling it.
More soon.
Also, I always in these preview posts take the opportunity to plug my del.icio.us page - check it out for the latest links, breaking news, rare resources, and surprising facts that make blogging so interesting. But instead of having to embed them in a post, with the inevitable wondering about how unique or "post-worthy" the link is, I can just post the link itself, and let you the reader decide what’s interesting enough to click on. I promise, there’s something for everyone.
Just browse to http://del.icio.us/eh_nonymous - and enjoy.
Or don't, see if I mind. :)
