The Death Squad
Thou Shalt Not Kill - except in war, in which case even your clergyman will give you a chocolate bar and a slap on the back and send you off to kill. For a private in the Union Army assigned to a firing squad during the U.S. Civil War, each new day brought the execution of 80 convicts. Soon the unpleasant duty becomes unbearable, and he searches for a way out.
