War

We're in the year 2007 - we're about to enter 2008.

We've got a technology that gets better and better by the minute! Even the 60s speed development wasn't as fast as what we're experiencing today.

Medically, in technology, mentally, even spiritualy...

So how come some people still think war is a solution to anything?
Sure they bring in the modern technology, but that does not make war "modern", "ethical" or anything close to "good".

War is still an oldfashioned way to try and solve things, a caveman-like behaviour.

War kills. War destroys. War makes history - a dark one at that.

It's time we wake up an realize this. The negative outcome DOES outweigh the positive outcome.

And why did I decide to rant about this now?
Because I just read an article that says 11% of adult Americans are war veterans. That tells a story of it's own that I don't think I need to get into...
What got my attention is that, we all know how many people live on the streets in the US - now picture all these people and you wonder how it happened?

Well let me tell you something, 1/4th of all the people living on the streets are war veterans. And not just from Vietnam. From Iraq and Afghanistan too.
This is a frightening figure.

These war veterans have a hard time adjusting to a normal life when they get back home.
Who can blame them? They went through alot.

This means the total loss and destruction goes up ALOT from the numbers you normally hear. Because those numbers are not counting those that lived, but still lost by ending up on the street and got their lives destroyed. (And the lives of those that love them)

Wake up. Find a more civilized way to solve your problems.


I want to make one thing clear... I am NOT bashing the soldiers, the men and the women that leave home to fight for what they think is right. They're very brave and should be admired for their courage.
I know alot of them do make a difference. And I know alot make it home safely and returns to their lives.
But they should never have been sent out in the first place.
No human should be given that task. No human being deserves to be that close to a war.

To the governments around the world, including the Unites States of America:
Please stop abusing your young men and women who trust and love you enough to be willing to die for you.
The trust will end somewhere and you'll have turned the love into hate.
