war
i used to think that war was for uncivilized people. ... when i was little i learned about how the south and north fought...for many different reasons..some for slavery...some to secede..blahblah.. i saw how indians and white guys fought back in the colonial days (thank you pocahontas)...mm i heard bout wwi and wwii and i actually thought that all wars were over...that the last war was wwii. i guess i didnt pay close attention to the news. i remember that crisis in kosovo thing..i guess thats when it KINDa sorta not really hit me yeah. eh.
are we even in a war? did congress even declare war.....
the "war in iraq"...
what are they fighting for again? do THEY even know? or maybe they THINK they know...only cause it's been DRILLEd into their heads.
i support our troops..but i dont support this war. i want our troops to come home safe and hopefully be sane. post shock syndrome..is that whats it called or shell shock..i forgot. but yeah. :\
its kinda weird though..cause u have no idea what some of them are doing..like some guys really do risk their lives..but others harass the prisoners.. im not sure.. but i mean if uve been to war for what seems like forever, were THAT bored, had nothing to do and u were fighting against these guys who killed your friend... maybe u would take naked degrading pictures of them and more. im not saying everyone in the army is like this..bcause some are really noble and respectable..but everyones different.
when peoples lives are in danger they usually get desperate...or if there life is on the line 24/7, im pretty sure some of them get pretty fucked up. and their reasoning changes. like in the book night, which is about the holocaust, this one son beat his father to death for a piece of bread. ..he was THAT hungry. that really surprised me. or like in mini arena where u dont care about anybody else (or most of the lowell kids) you just want your classes. "a bruise lasts 5 days but these classes are 5 months"..someone said that somehwere i forgot who. but yeah.
did u guys know about Guantanamo bay..its like..a prison for al qaeda terrorists/suspects...but i watched this documentary in fishers class, i actually paid attention!, and they said that some of those ppl in that prison arent even terrorists OR suspects...most of them havent even committed crimes or have any evidence...and a lot of them havent had a trial. . ... like this one guy was just arrested one day and was sent straight to guantanamo bay..his family/parents had no idea where he went either..til 2 months later when the police called and told them. in a letter he wrote to his dad, he wrote "i havent seen natural sunlight in a year..except for 2 minutes" that's crazy. and really scary since they had no evidence linking him to al qaeda or whatever. but yeah. i just thought our society was way beyond that. theres always the future to look forward too though.
the funny thing is. we talk about how sorry we feel for all these people and yet we dont do anything about it...what CAN we do?
im not gonna reread this so srry if a lot of this is confusing. wasted ur time nikkuhs.
