been reading a manga called kino no tabi and the latest chapters have me.......................a bit pissed.
the manga is about a girl named kino who travels with a talking motorcycle named hermes. they travel from place to place, seeing different countries and cultures while only staying in one country for 3 days.
one of the ones they traveled to was a country of peace that had survived war with another country for nearly 2 centuries. they warred so long, it seemed to go without end. then a woman who lost her husband and 5 sons in the war decided to work with another woman of similar background on the opposite side and helped end the war. how did they do it? they decided to, instead of killing each other, they would kill a primitive tribe called the tatata that lived between the two nations. so every time these two countries would go to "war", they would assemble at the boarder and then start massacring these tribes. and who even had the biggest body count would win the "war". the bodies are then just dumped on the boarder, letting them rot in the sun. the tatata have no say in the matter and can't stop either side from killing them due to them being woefully primitive. (both nations has modern firearms and hovercars while the tatata have only stone axes and arrows.)
