I've been keeping a low profile on world and national events for the last week and a half. I finally started going back and checking on things and saw this ...
“I must say, I’m a little envious,” Bush said. “If I were slightly younger and not employed here, I think it would be a fantastic experience to be on the front lines of helping this young democracy succeed.”
“It must be exciting for you … in some ways romantic, in some ways, you know, confronting danger. You’re really making history, and thanks,” Bush said.
...
My mind reels.
Only someone who has NEVER been anywhere near actual combat could think this!
WAR is not romantic!
There is nothing romantic about it!
War is horrible. It's sometimes a necessary evil. But it is ALWAYS horrible.
Go ahead and ask any vet whose seen others in his platoon DESTROYED yards, feet or inches from him. Ask him just how romantic is war.
FUCK! I truly wish what I want to say right now wasn't extremely illegal. but those of you who know me can easily guess what I'm thinking.
