War is something that should only be undertaken in self defense. PERIOD. The point that is being made that no matter which side you are “on” the end result is what the stranger preached. And I am FAR from being a pacifist. I’m a guardian. No, I am NOT a vet and am glad I had thought out the time I almost enlisted and didn’t. No, and no one in our lifetime out side of possibly WWII should have ever been in combat. The united States was never attacked since WWII and no war has been properly declared by Congress since WWII. I hope that satisfies your curiosity.
"All that said, I cannot and will not depreciate those who served and fought with honor and integrity and bravery. I honor those men, as men, of the highest bravery and honor thier service. " It is with sadness that I have to say, that it was due to ignorance they were in the situation they were in. Except for being drafted, which some of my generation where, there was really no reason to join. I can't look at men like Chris Kyle as anything more than a killer for the bankers. HE was part of an invading army. The people he killed were defending their country. As for War is a Racket? That's for DAMN SURE. So why play their game? Wake people up to realize that most war is caused by cowardly politicians and international cabal drawing this nation into wars for their own gain and profit.

I am NOT going to tolerate these judgmental "I know it all types" getting on and acting like some sort of holier than thou schmuck. Toxic narcissism is not what we need more of in our world. I could puke when I read comments like this guy had posted.

From womb to tomb we are bound to others,
Past and present,
And with each crime and every kindness,
We birth our future"

It reminds me of The Day of the Lord, and how we are cautioned to not pray for it, because it's going to be so terrible when it comes
