I get your humor and agree with your comment.

I take your point but sadly for some it still is. I was listening yesterday to a radio program about Brendan Marrocco who lost both arms from a roadside bomb.(and his subsequent double arm transplant)

Oh, I didn't mean to trivialize modern warfare at all. I was just thinking of how much closer you have to be to kill a man with a stick, sword or club, and the mental process involved with it.

roadside bombs are not what I meant by Brutal... I mean getting right up to your enemy, face to face, and wailing on him with a sword, pike, halbred, or the like. That is Brutal

They are the same thing - scoliosis is a lateral shift AND a rotation of the vertebrae, which produces the hump. With a scoliosis that severe, it must have affected some internal organs, and been quite painful.
