re: #50 pre-Boomer Marine brat

IIRC, Saladin said the same thing when he ordered the sacking of a city. His commanders asked, should we just kill the enemy’s soldiers? Saladin said, no, kill everyone. God will sort them out.

It’s a phrase that seems to pop up a lot in history. I believe a pope or bishop said the same thing in France dealing with a gnostic heresy.

/can’t remember the date or the actual name of the gnostics. was southern France though.
