So I was talking to my "foster" dad about the War in Iraq. Now I don't mind a friendly debate, but there is a line and be prepared when you crossed it with me. You see I have had family in the military since always and I a really strong supporter of it. I don't care if you are for or against the war because you have freedom of speech.
Anyways in the middle of this he flat out said the goal of the military is just to kill people. That just pissed me off because without a military our country would not be protected against the terrorists. what annoys me about these anti-war people is that if they hate our government so much then why don't they just move to fucking Canada? If I could I would be fighting over seas in Iraq because I appreciate what my friends and family are doing for this country. Go ahead and bitch back with your comments because of the first amendment.
Now if we weren't attacked on 9/11/2001 then I would probably have a different opinion about what's going on in Iraq, but I don't want another attack on our nation like that or of Pearl Harbor. No one wants to just go out and kill people without a motivation.
This includes serial killers like Ed Gein, Jeffrey Dahmer and John Wayne Gacy. They had some messed things happen to them. I don't support their actions, but being an insane individual as well, I can understand where they come from. the only time I truly support anything like cannibalism is if you are in a plane crashes on to a desert island with lack of vegetation, and you and only one other person survives.
I seriously feel like everybody is losing sight of what has been going on for the past eight years and forget what they are even fighting for.

Ah, well, though I agree that the military's only goal isn't killing people. That's just ludicrous, and completely untactful. However, the thing is, we HAVE lost sight about what this war is for. I mean, the supposed terrorists of 9/11 were from an extremist group in Afghanistan. We never found said lead of said group who is supposedly in Afghanistan. And now we are fighting in Iraq under the prerequisite that there were "Weapons of Mass Destruction" there. Said weapons were never found. Soldiers I know said they have been guarding Oil drills. We've overthrown their oppressive government. We've helped them install a democratic one. So yeah, I wonder just what in the hell we are doing there....
ReplyDeleteBut anyway... there is need for a military, as there is need for killing. Gruesome as it is, sometimes there's just no other way to deal with people.
