War... Death, Destruction, Hate, Blood, Bombs, Guns,
|
|
Explosives, Missles... These are it's instruments, as well as it's price.
|
|
Some people reading this now will probably be saying "YES! IT ROCKS!". Well,
|
|
does it? Is it really all that cool to have a land that is now simply a red
|
|
lake, unswimmable. People say that war is glorious, that it is the ultimate.
|
|
The ultimate what? The ultimate thrill? Well, as they said on Point Break,
|
|
the ultimate thrill has the ultimate price. Are you willing to give that
|
|
price for simple glory? You say "Let's go to war", well, I wanna see you
|
|
say that when your old enuf to be drafted and yout namez next on Uncle Sam's
|
|
list.
|
|
The law of War is the same as the law of the Jungle, "Kill or be
|
|
Killed". Are you willing to do that? Are you willing to go out there, on
|
|
the red, bloody battlefield to fight for what our congress says is right?
|
|
Even if you don't believe it's right, are you willing to follow that law?
|
|
Some of you, like S0l0mn, are saying yes, though S0l0mn i think says it
|
|
because he thinks it's right to be protecting other people. S0l0mn and I
|
|
got into a big debate about war. Originally this was supposed to be about
|
|
polotix, but i decided to write about this.
|
|
Their are ways to fight for what's "right" without the killing. We
|
|
don't have to go out there and kill for land, or to spite a country we
|
|
believe to be wrong. I just realized something, what I wrote above might make
|
|
it sound like I don't believe we should fight to defend other people. I think
|
|
we should, but not for the reasons of 'Nam or the Gulf. 'Nam was fought
|
|
simply so that we could spite Russia. There no glory in that war, if there
|
|
ever was glory in any war. The Gulf was not fought to free the people in
|
|
Kuwait, but simply so that the U.S. wouldn't have to go through the rough
|
|
cultural and economic changes of loseing two thirds of our oil supply.
|
|
Now tell me, are either of those causes worth the deaths inflicted.
|
|
Some of you are saying "but there weren't many deaths in the Gulf", WRONG!
|
|
First off, even one death causes enuf pain for me. Death is a fact of life,
|
|
it happens to everyone, but the loss of someone becuase he was ordered to do
|
|
it is much more painfull than a death of natural causes. Second, there
|
|
weren't many deaths to us, but there were many to Iraq. Many people were
|
|
killed, and they had no chance at all to defend themselves.
|
|
Before I finish writing this paper on war (there will, most likely,
|
|
be others) I want to ask all the people to do something. Sit down. Relax
|
|
and breathe deeply, try to center yourself and clear your mind. Now,
|
|
picture a battlefield. On the battlefield are pools of read and bodies
|
|
scattered about, heads blown off, bodies blown apart. Above you plains
|
|
fly over you, sending bullets, bombs, and missle down on the solders below,
|
|
some of which proabaly don't even believe in the cause their fighting for.
|
|
Try and actually hear the screams of the dying in pain. Try and hear the
|
|
mind-numbing explosions about you. Hear the screams as bullets pierce the
|
|
houses of people who have nothing whatsoever to do with this war. Now, try
|
|
and feel the emotional pain and loss that flows, almost as if alive, through
|
|
the air. Feel it. Now feel the dust flying against your face, comeing out
|
|
of craters blown in the land. Now, feel the loss as people you considered
|
|
friends get blown apart, by someone who probably never even saw his face,
|
|
never even looked into the eyes of this person killed. Now, try and love
|
|
what you're feeling, try and actually feel that it's full of glory. Try and
|
|
love what's going on around you, not the goal you propose to be fighting for.
|
|
Can you actually love this? If you can, then you can, if you can't, then
|
|
you can't. No correct answer here people. I don't judge the poeple that feel
|
|
differently. I, personally, can never love this. I will never try, because
|
|
I know that I'll never be able to.
|
|
One last thing. If we are invaded, I'm not saying do all the
|
|
peacefull protest stuff, do you actually think a lot of Nazi solders are gonna
|
|
care if you chain yourself to a tree? No, they'll blow you the fuck up. When
|
|
the war is in your homeland, fight for it. If you live in the war zone, the
|
|
only rule is Kill or be Killed. But don't make a war zone. Don't send the
|
|
people out there to fight a war that is based around spite, or material
|
|
possesion.
|
|
That's all I can think of that I have to say. So, I'll talk to all
|
|
you poeple L8r. Oops, one last thing, if you do do the mental war above,
|
|
e-mail me on Total Anarchy, Exodus, or uTi (if we ever get the damn phone
|
|
line) and tell me what came of it. Cya
|

Blessed Be
