Most threads here delve into the theory. Let's share the practice of making difficult decisions. One example is from the 9th episode of Band of Brothers I just watched entitled, "Why We Fight."
Easy company was out on patrol in enemy territory. In the woods the light heartedness of knowing the war was nearly over took a menacing turn when they heard something suspicious. Onward they walked, the scene played out very differently than what these battle hardened warriors experienced before.
A runner ran back to down to alert the XO what they found. It was indescribable to the runner. Beyond words. When he arrived at the scene of mostly barbed wire camp, gaunt men looking like zombies, the life drained from the unliving, wearing horizontal striped attire with a yellow star stitched. It was beyond words. The smell was unbearable. And he ordered his men to get food from town anyway they can and water.
As the starving walking corpses grabbed for the freshly baked bread, the CO arrived with the battalion doctor. He ordered the soldiers to stop feeding the starving immediately because they will eat themselves to death; they need to remain centralized where their intake of food can be monitored and at the concentration camp until other facilities could be found for them.
When this was communicated in German, the haunting look and sounds these spiritually destroyed images of God made sickened my soul. Imagine thinking you survived the Nazi death camp only for your liberators to tell you that you must stay? Difficult Decisions.
