Ever been in war, Mr. "I-am-so-enlightened-and-know-it-all"?
Have any idea what it's like to serve in the army?
It's really easy clicking your tongue, sighing and critizing from your couch getting fat from french-fries and cartoons and having really no idea of how cruel this neighborhood can be.
No, I've never been to war. Do you want to know why I have never been to war? I'll tell you. I've never been to war bceause I have no wish, hunger nor desire to kill or harm my fellow man. Not because I want to, not because some bullshitting politican tells me to and not because any of the other miriad of reasons that people not putting their lives on the line yet asking me to do so feel that I should go to war. It also the reason I manage to avoid the sickening veneration of people who are in the military.
In addition to that I recognise that a parliment made up of people who have spent their early years thinking in terms of military destruction, undermining and nullification of an enemy is a terrible TERRIBLE thing leading to warmongery from that parliment.
No, sir.
You've never been in war, because it is was your luck that you were born, or raised, or lived in a place which can be secured and sure of its existance, can be safe, because you're part of a nation which was not haunted.
Your wish to not fight is noble, but it has nothing to do with it.
You think that I got into the IDF because I wanted? newsflash for you, pal! nobody does! we would rather live in this land than fight and die for it.
I was born to a generation which saw its big brothers and sisters go off to war, we looked at our parents and asked them what will become of the day that WE put those war-cloths on, and our mothers and fathers told us not to worry, by the time we grow up there will be no army anymore.
So don't come lecture me about desire for peace. That is something that's common to human beings in general, you're nothing special!
We don't go to fight because politicians say it, we go off to fight for our mothers, fathers, brothers, CHILDREN. that is the reason we fight.
Screw the politicians, who cares?!
"Avoid the sickening veneration of people who are in the military"?! That is selfish and egotistical. Those people go off to war so you could safely stay down here typing your computer wish stupid complaints!
I hate those who critizise the forces, those who cry when getting scratched and whine about how subhuman are those bad soldiers with guns, not understanding that thanks to them you're even able to write down your whining in message boards. That is what truly sickening!
"military destruction" is a term used by delusional pacifict assholes who think anything military is bad. You never served in the system, you never held a rifle or felt the blood-union between friends and mates. YOU KNOW JACK!
