War - What is it good for?

im guessing dehumanization of the enemy makes it a little easier. hope i never experience that. all of these wars suck ass. and the fact that this one is intimately tied to religion and god and a misunderstanding or literal interpretation of what seems to be a simple message is obscene.
 
war is good for greedy world leaders and politicians and precious little else. wars against tyrants etc yes. but war as in invasions, no.

I was talking with one of my buddies about his experiences in Vietnam, he was telling me about how all of his marines were hardened to the human loss, and would not show much emotion when humans were killed. He added that as soon as one of their dogs was killed, the same guys would carry on and cry all day.

For many men it's a job. Regardless of how you feel about the current political agenda, there are a lot of good ol' boys out there just trying to make it home with a check for their family. Sometimes earning that check puts them in situations that may compromise their values, often their safety, but I choose to support the boots on the ground despite any feelings I may have towards current foreign policy. Everyone's opinion is formed through their own individual "window" of the world, and the experiences that shaped it.
