    Well, this is, what a Warrior does - resolving Problems via Violence... I'm not sure, if one should confront Children to such a Perspective all the time...
    but maybe you're right and I'm overreacting.
    To judge, wether the Ukraine is failing or not is quite difficult right now, as you can see in the News. The Ukraine as got a precarious standing - the Cold War hasn't ended for this Country, yet. Russia is the 2nd largest Exporter of military Goods (well, I mean Weapons LOL). Most of the Production Facilities are in the Ukraine, though. Russia has kept a policy of bleeding out this Country by not paying a lot for the Assembly, there - and demanding high Prices for their Natural Gas on the other Hand. With the now established Natural Gas-Lines Nabucco and Northstream as Alternatives, this Option is no longer available for Russia, resulting in Putin's "Charming Offensive" on the Ukraine. Many Ukrainians would rather like a Western Association (you can currently watch TV, to see that), but noone really knows, what happens, when this 2nd Revolution is succesful - and Putin stops beeing pollite...
    Teaching Children how to wage War in a Situation like this makes me a bit uneasy.

    P.S.:
    I know, Germany is the 3rd largest Exporter of Weapons, and it may look a little schizophrenic to talk about Peace while selling Weapons in gigantic Amounts...
    You might have already guessed: America is #1 on the Exporters' Ranking.

    I was brought up to understand there is nothing wrong with weapons, it is the people's intention which is the determining factor.

    I stated Ukrainian as a failing country not because they are not well financially, there are poorer countries compared to Ukraine. But Ukraine has serious substance abuse problems, domestic violence problems, and women slave trafficking.

    I grew up among American Indians, many tribes are actually doing well financially too, but there are some with comparable moral issues as Ukraine's. Like, substance abuse, domestic violence, and victimization of women.

    Against that backdrop, I can see why people like Keterina would like to teach her fellow women how to find the self-esteem for themselves as well as their country through martial spirit and military-style training for her womenfolks in Ukraine.
    You can say Hitler tried it and use it for his evil intentions, and Frederick The Great tried it and saved Prussia, or Ronald Reagan also tried it, and save the world from possible bloodbath of the Cold War.

    Just because the activities have potential for evils, does not means evil is manifested in these activities, and also does not mean disallowing such activities will prevent evils.

    hmm...
    maybe, you're right.

    I was skimming over the current faction descriptions, yesterday and saw, that you referred to an Ebook named "Quarrel at the Gates" or "Quarrel of the Guardians"... this Book is hidden very well in the Depths of the Internet
    Have you got a link or something?

    It was out briefly but the publisher has to be replaced because the term was not favorable. So I am still looking for a publisher.

    Well, maybe you could find someone, who is printing real Books, too. You can't place an Ebook on a shelf...

    You are right! And I was looking for another publisher who offers printed eBook option at an extra fee to the reader. The book got artwork as well, so it would make a nice soft cover or hard cover book.
