Having a standing army is pretty much a deter force so other nations wont invade your homeland and take the freedoms you have and you obvisiously take
for granted. Its kinda like when you were probably bullied as a little kid. if you were bigger and stronger you probably would have been able to
defend yourself so you wouldnt have to give your lunch money away. If you show your power they it will keep most people who wish you harm away from
you. I can see your the type of person who probably doesnt understand what it mean to actually join the military and fight for something you believe
in though. Keep spreading your hate from behind you computer monitor and keep taking for granted the freedoms that myself and countless others like
me have defended.
Seriously, you are programmed.
It isn't hate. You might be shocked to hear this, but I love humanity, I love you brother. You make me sad.
Having moral integrity and speaking truth to lies is not a hateful act.
The fact of the matter is you don't protect me. The Middle East doesn't want my lunch money. I almost joined up in 2003, THANK GOD I DIDN'T. I
believed all that BS about Saddam and WMDs. I used to argue with people about how the war was justified.
How embarrassed am I now?
I'm against the war because I have family who spent years of their lives there. I have friends who died there.
You can keep telling me every flag-draped casket was a good thing, and people like me saying they're death was unnecessary are "hateful, evil" people.
How many more funerals do you want me to go to? How many more women shall I let cry on my shoulder, what shall I tell them? Give me a good
patriotic phrase for that situation.
Every soldier says, "I know, but I let you sleep at night." Bitch I don't sleep at night. This is a horrible world because of violent people who
don't think their choices through.
But this isn't about whether I'm a coward, or weak, or scared. You don't know anything about me except my opinions regarding a few subjects on this
Truth is truth. "Aggressive conflict," or whatever the technocrats are calling it now, what we used to call "invasion," is wrong. The current wars
around the world are wrong. They've been wrong for a long time. This is now known without a shadow of a doubt.
It's about what is right. What is right just is.
