YOU are living in a childhood fantasy crafted by movies and patriotic ramblings. Military fighting isn't 'good vs bad'- light vs dark star wars BS. It's going into peoples homes, forcing information from them, bombing innocent civilian areas because of enemy bases nearby or because that's how they get their food, it's killing children should you be ordered to do so, and it's sick and wrong. These aren't 'over-dramatized isolated incidents'. They're fact. They happen all the time in wars. Civilians are the FIRST objective to be attacked so they don't join the opposing army or provide food for them. Nazi's taking over the world? Nazi's had no chance of doing that because they were fighting a 2 front war and Russia was on our side. Honor in dying? No such thing. Your wife would grieve for your death, no? Wouldn't she feel guilty about it? Look at Abraham Lincoln, when he was killed, his wife went crazy and was sent to a mental institution because she thought anyone emotionally close to her would die (Her husband died after she lost 3 sons in the war). Want to know why schools don't tell you this? Because NO ONE wants fresh and able-bodied military resources to be anything but happy about partaking in war. Also, to put it in the most simplest terms, since I'm sure most of you don't believe me. War's definition: Organized Murder. That's it. That's all. It's no different than gangs killing people. You just wear an honorary uniform to do it. |
This is the response I expected from you. Rambling on and on with no real information. So, if China(hypothetical) decides to take over the earth, should we let them, because if we fight back bad things will happen? This is what happens when you don't think about the crap you a spewing. It makes no sense.
The allied forces attacking Germany had to happen. You contradicted yourself pretty severely. You say that Nazi's had no chance of taking over the world. Why is that? Because, GASP, people fought back. If nobody fought back you would have never been born.
With your ideals, I could get about 100 guys together and conquer the earth because war is murder so we shouldn't fight back. Nobody fights back and kills me, we take over the world. Glad people don't think like you.
As for honorable death, if you let your wife die and you could have saved her, you are a pathetic existence of a man. I would rather die saving my loved ones than living the life of a coward and being treated as such. A mourning wife is much better than a dead one. Why can't you see that? Because you don't think, you read some crap and believed.
You tell me I'm living a childhood fantasy. Your most likely 17 or 18 so your still a child with distorted views of the world. I guarantee that 5 years from now if you read this post again, you'll realize how wrong you are. Know how I know this? I used to be your age and said stupid stuff. You'll grow smarter and wiser, and it's great.
I realize horrible things happen in wars and wish they wouldn't, but they are isolated incidents that aren't the norm, and these people get punished when they are caught. Just because bad stuff happens, that doesn't mean you shouldn't fight. The internet allows smut videos of people being murdered to be viewed by all, so by your logic, we should ban the internet. Sounds ridiculous.
Now see I calmly I replied and expressed my viewpoints without looking like rabbling lunatic? That's wisdom baby.
