Second, regardless of what happened on 9/11...you signed up to be a pawn, as did my friends. You weren't wrong when you did all those things because you, like my friends, gave up your right to be a citizen and decide what is right and what is wrong for yourself...the gov't does that for you and then has you implement their agenda (it is also your agenda), which, im sorry to say has nothing to do with the best intrest of me and you.
Thirdly, The only reason for war is money, in this case oil. The only reason you say they are our "enemy" is because they live in an area that contains the majority of the oil (money) on this planet. You have been conditioned to think everything about them is wrong. Saddam could have farted on an american tourist and we would have invaded. Any reason what so ever to get their hands on that oil (money).
Thank you for yoru support. I will say this however, MONEY is never a reason for war, has never been will never bed, POWER is the reason most usually used, that or women (please dont take offense to that, it was not a bash on women at all). Thirdly, my "conditioning"? you know nothing about me IRL. Don't presume things like that. Unlike most that are, however, I was no robot AND I never gave up my right to be a citizen, EVER. I understand full well that there are different rules and regulations when you are in the Armed Forces, but that made me MORE of a citizen not LESS.
I used the term "enemy" in sarcasm, the only enemies I have are those that wish to take something from me or to try to force upon me their will and belief, which I am opposed to. You had a friend..great. Before you determine MY conditioning...be there first.
yes, I will admit that I was changed thru and after the war. I look around and see ppl that will do anything to make themselves "right". People that want you to listen to their distortion of facts so that they will "Look good" rather than being able to just take responsability for their actions, be held accountable, be honest, and be fair and considerate to mankind as a whole.
We have some real Gems in this game that would not last for a day where some have been, yet they act as tho they are Lord and Master, dictating to their slaves and people that are, in their eyes, "lower". Those ppl disgust me to the point of ...well I wont say.
So, to all those that have opinions about issues like this, or have some false sense of VALUE that is greater than others, get over yourselves already and KNOW what the hell you are talking about before you choose to take a cowards way out by just blurting out whatever comes into your minds before you can even determine its validity. People get hurt by the things that are said against them when you just DECIDE to say things..just sometimes STFU....
This is not directed towards you Booda, its just in general, sorry if you felt attacked. That is not my intentions.
