Now imagine you’re the young man in your 20’s going off to war, leaving your wife and child behind, and you do your duty by killing your enemies, and return home safely.
Upon your arrival home, you are arrested and tried as a war criminal, and sentenced to life in prison, never to hold your wife or child again.
Don’t you think that would suck
This is exactly what happened to a family i know here in Toronto, Ontario, Canada
Canada is hardly setting an example the world should follow, they just handed out citizenships to all those refugees with Aids, yet in the above example they saw nothing wrong with breaking up a normal family who were living in Toronto and allowing a soldier to go to prison for life, despite several protests, albeit he wasn’t a soldier in the Canadian Military, but should that really matter, if you set rules in war, you can’t just pick and choose who you want them to apply to.
Canada is the biggest country in the world, they don’t need to act like a patsy for the USA, NATO, International War Crimes Tribunal, or anybody else, it’s sad that they do though, i’m glad to see the rest of the world is coming around at least and finally standing up to these bully world body organizations
The purpose of modern day wars, actually they have no purpose, unlike the old days where you just killed people you didn’t like, WTF is Canada’s purpose for donating bodies to the middle east, aside from succumbing to peer pressure, what will they gain, how will the country be better and safer, it makes no sense, if they really hated people from the middle east, then they wouldn’t have given millions and millions of them Canadian citizenship, and jeopardize the safety of their own people by harbouring what they now classify as terrorists, don’t you think
It’s all a big joke, they are just going off to slap out peasants and take whatever little they have, typical pirate games
And i am not Anti-War, i am Pro-War if it’s for the right reasons, but
Dropping a $50 million bomb to whack some hopeless camel jockey riding through the desert with a makeshift shotgun is not money well spent in my opinion, and unless you plan on entirely removing their seed from the earth, then your efforts are pointless, they will only come back bigger and stronger in the future, or haven’t they figured that out yet
So while that story is nice and touching, it is not reality, it’s just what people must believe in order to remain guilt free, people(normal people, civilians, with their god fearing righteous lifestyle)need to believe their cause is just, even if it isn’t, all you need to do is look back through history and you will find many peoples who were swindled by their government into supporting a false cause, this is not the first time it’s been tried, yet it still seems to work for some reason.
I don’t wanna get into politics, cuz someone will always disagree(thats why we have wars), but it would be interesting to know how many people who support the war in Afghanistan actually know any Afghani’s, i mean they are Shepherd’s for christ’s sake, seriously, at least back in the old days we knew our enemy and everyone knew why we were at war, but what is this now, 20 years ago the US was buddy buddy with Afghanistan, giving them guns to protect themselves, now they doctor up some war time propaganda and everyones like lets go whack their dumbasses, not that i care, or am trying to come across as some kind of humanitarian, i got enough problems of my own, well maybe i do care just a little bit
