No road home

Tonight, I could not sleep.

Some time ago, in a discussion, somebody mentioned that if the Republic survives the coming war, some - perhaps many - of us might not be welcome home anymore.

What we do now might be necessary for the survival and wellbeing of our kin. Or at least we would like to think so.

However, there are things civilized societies need to condemn, in order to stay civilized.

There might be no road home. No hero's welcome. We might be war criminals, a liability, or worse.

Am I being odd, if I find that thought comforting?
