My confession....I was once Hillary or Bust...

85. I will say nearly nothing can justify a war

War brings out the absolute worst in humanity. The violence and hoe it changes people is nothing but evil. I grew believing I was a "moral" or a "good" person but combat and killing changes all of that.

Nothing beats the feeling and rush you get during combat. The anger it releases within you is frightening. The power and satisfaction you feel when you kill a person who was trying to kill you is terribly alarming. However, any positive feelings you might feel are extremely short lived and last no longer than until you see exactly what your weapons do to people and you see the incredible sadness and grief you bring about on a family when they look at you as a cold murderer.

War - in its full reality - is almost never justifiable. The sanitized version civilians see (including the politicians that perpetrate war) is a huge disservice to humanity. If they weren't able to recruit naive kids with tools like patriotism or convince the uninvolved that violence is an option with the same we'd have no more wars.

I love the Black Sanbath song "War Pigs". Sadly, it is all too true.
