1st. War is stupid It only breeds more hatred and in the end only the Governments receive the spoils while the people suffer. In war for the people there is no winner because many die on both sides for stupid reasons programed by the government. War is big business its not about religion, freedom,(although some would have you believe it is). Contrary to what our governments have us believe its all about how much $$$ can be made off this thing called war. Ask your self has war helped any of us on the local level...Irac war vets are homeless when they come home but i guess that's just Carma. Nothing actually constitutes War. If governments said well we want the land and oil or just the influence of that nation who would really sign up for that ***...so instead they say its about your freedom or its about some religious crap. Basically what I'm saying it they have us all fooled and we are being taken advantage of our Ideals and moral values are being twisted to their needs and wants. We are all human and are actually only one people...the masses(the people of all nations) are getting *** and the minority(big business owners/Government) is getting rich off our backs. Any time when you feel a need to take another life unless the person is directly trying to kill you or your family your wrong period.
I hope you're only talking about our current situations and not generalizing about ALL wars. Sometimes war/conflict are necessary evils. World War 2 comes to mind, but that's a really played out war, so I'm not going to sit here and hound you about ***you already know about.
You're right about it being business related, as people have a lot to gain and a lot to lose when it comes to war, so you at least want to see some positive benefit. Fortunately, it's not a mandatory event unless there is a draft, which ended in 1973. So I'll focus on a situation where a
country wanted American military support, but we neglected to intervene. So, you don't think genocide constitutes war?
Nobody is forcing you to go fight these wars. If you signed up for the military for some extra cash, then that's your own fault.
