In the ruins

[After the battle in the Iraqi desert as the bodies had been cleaned up, Alex could be found walking around the dig site. Stopping to look at newly broken statues or just around where the battle had been. It wasn't really a very big site all told, but did that really matter?]

It's weird. This place has been lying quietly for millennia and war returned to it like this...At least it didn't turn into a full-blown massacre.

People are going to squabble over those things anyway. That's why we were out here in the first place, not like they're going to stop just because you say it's irrational.

And I for one wouldn't want to live in a world where everything has been sacrificed for survival. I like that there's arts, sports, knowledge of our past, biodiversity and so on. It makes life more interesting and gives our entire fight meaning.

The meaning of any battle is survival, what further meeting could there be in a fight against someone who wants to kill you?

Usually they're not trying to kill you, but to get something and you choose to get in the way of that and they're just trying to kill you to get you out of the way...The current alien invasions are an exception.
