I'm against all war. Some people are against all people who disagree with them.
I had a friend of mine say, "Killing women and children is War?"
To which I had to respond, "War is killing, period."
At what point did we determine the value of a mans life or of a woman's?
At what point did we decide that killing one human being was acceptable, while killing another is an atrocity against humanity? All War is an atrocity against humanity. Why would ANYONE try to sanctify dirty blood with semantics and empty rhetoric about "honor?"
At what point did we create rules to hide ourselves from the HORROR of what we do and become in times of war? No rules of engagement will change the nature of War, only alleviate our consciences somewhat.
Perhaps it is only wise men wiser than I that have learned to distinguish between sensible killing and senseless killing. I am blind in that respect.
Silly me, I've been searching for the enemy within me, when the enemy was in another country the entire time.
