Stefan discusses the problem of returning soldiers. He has little faith in the idea of "swords to ploughshares". In an ideal world, we would rehabilitate everyone. Second best, we could leave parts of the world where they can express their destructive programming without hurting others. This is one of the reasons I have suggested that Afghanistan become an independent colony. For those who nature and/or nurture have deemed warlike, we can help them fulfill their calling without endangering others, by sponsoring them to go to "war regions". This would be a modern day gladiator, but more so. Further, we should expand professional sports - so that we create a path from killing people, to injuring your competitor, to causing pain in your competitor, to competing with someone for mutual fitness, etc. The problem is, of course, moving from win/lose to win/win; without diminishing our effectiveness at deflecting and disabling win/lose attacks.
