Careless Whisper Posted February 7, 2008 Report Share Posted February 7, 2008 This video link will take you to a youtube video. Note this, however, For all the U.S. soldiers who died in war, their lives were spent for their country, and I believe that they earn respect. PLs, as you are watching this video, don't forget that this is what war does. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Static Posted February 7, 2008 Report Share Posted February 7, 2008 The quote at the beginning of that video, well it was good, until the second part came up, then I almost cried at the flaw in that response. I shall respond to that later during this My Heroes. I'm sorry to say, but any country that can suppress others, and pushes it Genocidal consensus upon other, weaker nations, I will have trouble seeing as a respectable nation. I refer to the Failures of Capital governments the US help established in Latin America, and the whole Idea that some Americans have that Immigrants aren't human beings. Joseph Stalin may be responsible for more death, but his system was better. "One death is a tragedy, a Million is Statistic" were his words, and the idea of Communism, put forth by Vladimir (Ilyich Nikolas) Lenin (Based on Marx's writings), was to create an EQUAL standard living, so all could share the same benefits and suffering. Our country allows 1% to own half of the country's money, and allows others to be below these other people, economically, and dependent largely on their immigration status (Immigrants are seen commonly as people who will take low wages, sort of like, lesser people). Winston Churchill once said that Communism makes everyone suffer. Well, I'd rather let everyone have the same treatment than let some get ahead because of their birthright. For world peace to be achieved, birthright must go, and Capital societies, which exist to please the rich and Religious, work against this equality, and are delaying the goal of equal status among men from being achieved. Thus, America, and anyone who thinks it is a great nation, should rethink that. "Read about the History of the place that we live in, and stop letting coorperate news tell lies to your children." - Immortal Technique. I personally to risk ones life is more silly than brave. Nothing is worth your own life, its not like there's an afterlife to go to if you get shot, one bad injury, and crippled, or if your lucky, dead. Come back a Hero, then theres an accomplishment, but seriously, WHY RISK IT? The mind perceives through the Individual, and not the whole, and to even consider a nation of fundamentalist f*cks, who work towards raising themselves above other, colored and poorer people to be something worth dying for needs to straighten out their thoughts. Though I will admit, it is not the fault of the honor seeking soldier if we was raised to seek honor, love the country without the facts before him, have bad genetics which make him too stupid to see through the facade of a fair nation we have, or is too bound to morals because of religious beliefs programmed into him by family and congregation. I will not blame the soldier, I will respect him for doing his job the same way I respect a baker for doing their's, and not any more because of the risks he set before him. (The word "he" is just because I did not feel like writing "he/she", I know a soldier can be a woman as well) To respond to the videos quote: We both understand that a single human life cannot be given a property value in the world today. Why? because they are worth no property value. The work they can output is worth something, whatever we value the work at, but the individual itself is nothing significant. Ignoring the fact that the world population is FAR too high, some made up biblical/Talmud morals state that Humans are important, dominant to other creatures if you will. Our government reflects the morals of these primitive ideals, these ideas that are the epitome of fallacy, still reign over our world today, and that is part of the reason such problems exist. Basically, I rambled on a bit, but my point is valid. Don't go saying "yo support our troops yo they risk der lifz and stufz". Thats not why they deserve respect. Like all of us Americans, they are puppets to our Capitalist system, and should be respected for doing their part in it, their job as soldiers. Fin. I bid all of thee good day. ~ Static Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zoloa37 Posted February 15, 2008 Report Share Posted February 15, 2008 Our troops are doing their best and i support them but i also think that they are getting things done too slowly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mariojo2 Posted February 15, 2008 Report Share Posted February 15, 2008 I say that war is pointless, as well as several other common american things (no offense at all, here) but I respect those troops Iraq anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dryad Posted February 16, 2008 Report Share Posted February 16, 2008 I agree with Mariojo, We are fighting a pointless war, their is no "Salvation", no "Freedom" to be gained from this war. I still respect our troops because it would be criminal to dehumanize those who knew the downsides of joining a war and feel its right to protect the land of their fathers. I just wish this war never existed in the first place, family and friends go off and may not return to their Family, Lovers or Buddies ever again. :( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
