Consagración
Me felicitaron por mi papel durante la reconstrucción del crimen: recibí el disparo con valentía, me mantuve inmóvil mientras trazaban mi silueta en el piso, ni siquiera grité durante la autopsia.
Solo mas tarde, cuando me dejaron en la tumba, comencé a arrepentirme de ser tan dedicado a mi trabajo.

Draga Mašin
Alejandro I de Serbia había conocido a Draga Mašin en 1897 cuando prestaba servicio como dama de honor de su madre. Draga era diez años mayor que el rey, estaba mal vista en la sociedad de Belgrado, se creía que era estéril y según decían era muy conocida por sus numerosas relaciones sexuales. Durante una acalorada reunión del Consejo de la Corona, cuando los ministros intentaron en vano disuadir al rey de que se casara con Mašin, el ministro del Interior Djordje Genčić ofreció un argumento poderoso: "Señor, no puede usted casarse con ella. Ha sido amante de todo el mundo, yo incluido". La recompensa del ministro por su franqueza fue un bofetón en toda la cara.

El cuento
Protesto, Señoría. Sin duda, la denunciante habrá sido acunada con cuentos. Y conocerá el peligro de adentrarse en el bosque con su llamativa caperuza de color rojo. Nunca debió detenerse a recoger unas flores ni mantener conversación alguna con mi defendido, que se limitó a obrar según su instintiva naturaleza.

El sistema
Me viene a la cabeza algo que me contó, hace cinco o seis años, Miguel Littín. Él venía de filmar La tierra prometida en el valle de Ranquil, comarca pobre de Chile.
Los campesinos del lugar hacían de extras en las escenas de masas. Unos se representaban a sí mismos. Otros hacían el papel de soldados. Los soldados invadían el valle y a sangre y fuego arrancaban las tierras a los campesinos. La película era la crónica de la matanza.
Al tercer día, empezaron los problemas. Los campesinos que vestían uniforme, andaban de a caballo y disparaban balas de fogueo se habían hecho arbitrarios, mandones y violentos. Ellos acosaban a los otros campesinos después de cada jornada de filmación.

Obediencia debida
Tenemos órdenes de ser implacables si un compañero se queda parado de miedo.
Siento estar detrás de él en la fila, pero respiro hondo, lo empujo y cumplo con el deber.
Al tocar tierra sé que extrañaré a mi mejor amigo y un gran despistado, que olvidó ponerse el paracaídas.
Ángel Saiz Mora, Obediencia debida.

Puesto avanzado
Como ejemplo de las desatinadas decisiones militares tomadas durante la Guerra de Vietnam, Colin Powell –futuro presidente del Estado Mayor Conjunto de los Estados Unidos– refirió un suceso altamente significativo: en una ocasión, cuando llegó a un puesto avanzado del ejército norteamericano, en una zona hostil, preguntó cuál era la razón por la que aquellos soldados estaban allí, en un área tan peligrosa. El motivo aducido por el oficial al mando era que debían proteger una pequeña pista de aterrizaje de helicópteros que se encontraba en las proximidades. A Powell le pareció una razón de peso para permanecer en aquel lugar, pero se le ocurrió preguntar por la finalidad de aquel improvisado helipuerto, puesto que aquella era una región aislada y, aparentemente, sin interés militar. La respuesta no pudo ser más surrealista: aquel oficial le aseguró que la única misión de aquel campo de aterrizaje era… ¡aprovisionar a sus hombres!

La manzana
Eva probó la manzana, también Adán, y fueron expulsados del Edén. Paris se la entregó a Afrodita, conquistó a Helena, y eso causó la Guerra de Troya. A Newton estuvo a punto de caerle en la cabeza. Blancanieves casi perece al morderla. Harto, Guillermo Tell la atravesó con una flecha.

Esto es igual que Pearl Harbor
La tarde del 11 de septiembre de 2001, la escritora americana Susan Jacoby oyó por casualidad a dos hombres que hablaban en un bar de Nueva York. "Esto es igual que Pearl Harbor", decía uno. "¿Qué es Pearl Harbor?", preguntaba el otro. "Cuando los vietnamitas tiraron bombas en una bahía y así empezó la guerra de Vietnam", contestó el primer hombre. ¿Importa que estuvieran equivocados? Yo diría que sí, que una ciudadanía que no es capaz de poner en contexto el presente y que tiene tan pocos conocimientos del pasado puede alimentar con demasiada facilidad el discurso de los que dicen hablar con conocimiento de la historia y de sus ejemplos.
