It was great what that generation did.Those were awful times and an awful war that almost ended with a maniac ruling the entire world.You would think world leaders would have done what they could to end war after coming that close.They didn\'t.
It\'s been hundreds of years since this planet has had a day without war in some part of the world.Not one day.Even after the greatest of all wars nobodys done a thing to end it.So don\'t call on me cause I\'m not serving.I won\'t go to my death blindly for some so-called noble cause.You can if you want to but there will just be another "noble cause" 20 years after your dead and in the ground and if the side you were fighting for losses then your death all those years ago was pretty much pointless wasn\'t it.Would you really go so blindly for the cause of the day mm?Would you really let yourself become another forgotten bloodsmear in the history of endless wars?Cause theres just going to be another one a few years after your gone.
I guess what I\'m saying is theres no real point in dieing in war as long as theres just going to be another one right down the road.Keep doing that and eventually we\'ll lose,rendering everything you fought for moot.
And where is technology taking us.Straight to the end of the world that\'s where.You\'ve got to figure that even countries like Iraq and N.Korea can\'t be more than 20 years behind us technologicly.What were we capable of 20 years ago?Some pretty bad shit that\'s what.And our country wouldn\'t have hesitated to use a "super bug" against a country if we were losing a major war that would have cost us our country.So what are they going to do when were dominating them and on the brink of taking them over?
Take away even a little of our freedoms?No thanks.Terrorist would just work around whatever methods we would impliment. Then the government would take a little more of our freedoms to try and catch them,pretty much a never ending cycle.Americans screen for guns on airplanes?Well they allow knives with less than 6" blades so let\'s get on board with those and take over a plane.No more knives or even nail clippers?Well they dont screen your shoes for explosives?Let\'s put a bomb in a shoe and bring an airplane down.They even check the bottom of shoes now.......the terrorist will try something else,and it will be something nobodys thought of.Maybe a massive cyber attack to cripple our internet infrastructure and cost our economy billions of dollars.The government would probably want the right to monitor your computer without a warrant then.And terrorist will just do something else.They won\'t suffer because the government is monitoring everything you do online,we will.While terrorist have moved on to something else.They are plotting their evil deeds on cell phones............
