Okay, rant time. I hate war, the idea, and the attrocities that come from war but why the fuck is it the fault of the soldiers that war is by nature a horrible endeavore? I'm tired of seeing people belittle soldiers for answering the call and doing things to help society and the hope people of other nations. People spitting on soldiers and cussing them out for being patriotic is the stupidest thing I can think of. I hate war but theirs never a reason to belittle a veteran.
Whoa, is it popular opinion time again?
Being a soldier doesn't automatically make one infallible, you know. And don't even get me started on the politicians that send others to die for them.
There's nothing really else to say. I think you got down voted because you inferred not agreeing with belittling a soldier somehow meant that they were infallible which is a jump.
Strange. I took it as a result of people oversimplifying an occurance that metalman provided no evidence of having happened, let alone any deeper reasons behind it.
Half the reason I even hang around on FS anymore is to see the day when the youngsters of FS finally step out into the real world and realize how much more complicated it is to define their own values in a world that has gone from black and white to a complete gray area in about the time it takes to apply for a few jobs.
I wish I could upvote this ^ a thousand times. mgoveia hit the nail on the head. It's not just on here, but all around the Internet we have naïve, yet well meaning teens, who think they know all the answers because they saw something on either television or the movies or read it in some teen romance novel. Get a job, pay rent and bills, balance a household budget, watch the people you love grow old, sick, and then die, and then tell us how deep and learned you are.
