youre sad
response to tstilz's post Its sad ...
what youre saying is that the kids who werent blessed with $60,000 for college should go fight for you to have $60,000 for college. thats entirely backwards. since you were blessed with that opportunity go show some appreciation for it by giving something back to your country. 2 years is nothing compared to people who serve 20 or more years, some their whole lives, so that you can have that $60,000 to go to college. give back by fighting to let someone else have that same opportunity. keep in mind youre no better than those kids who cant afford college.

War is Sad
How about no fighting at all? How about no war? That woudl be real progress. The sad truth is that we go to war for all the wrong reasons, and more and more people of younger age are are understanding this. When you break it down piece by piece war is absolutely irrational and based solely on fear. Fear that has been conditoned into society for the benefit of those who benefit msot form war. Who makes money from war??? That's what it's all about. There is absolutely nothing moral or just and certainly not noble in killing other humans because we don't agree on how to live our lives. Much of what that boils down to is a lack of cultural understanding and acceptance.
Any one out there who actually believes we are in Iraq to help the cictizens of that beleagered country gain democracy is in severe denial. The U.S, invaded that country to strengthen ties to foreign oil. We are there because of greed, no more no less.
I would rather see every one who is of age and qualifies, spend 2 years in the Peace Corps or Mercy Corps, than in military fatigues learning how to murder strangers.
