My dad was just telling me about an old friend who he said never cried,had no conscience,looked for fights and shot a dog in the head,the friend decided he really wanted to join the army and was never seen again.
why do people honour soldiers? is it because you feel you owe your liberty to them ?
Historically liberty has been established by those who were not soldiers. Soldiers mostly follow orders, they have "a job to do" regardless of whether they are rescuing civilians or killing them.
Where people see courage and goodness in soldiers isnt there also emotional sickness and a murderous impulse?
What sort of person volunteers to devote their life to the skills of destruction and the business of hunting, trapping and slaughtering humans???
Australian soldiers recently took part in the invasion of Iraq, which involved the killing of more than 100,000 civilians, and lost not one soldier in the process, it feels strange and shameful to be commemorating them?
