Veterans Day

Should there be murder charges in a war?  Should you eat clay bricks?  See the connection?  Both of these are absolutely ridiculous questions and the answer is no.  Murder charges in a war scenario are completely ridiculous; if you don’t want civilian casualties then don’t wage war.  Unfortunately soldiers are paid to kill, so now we are going to get upset because they are doing their job to well?  “Okay guys, here is how it’s going to work; the Taliban is going to be wearing skirts and sombreros and you all will be wearing nothing but cowboy boots and a smile so there is no mistaking who is who. “  If it worked out like that I could understand why there would be murder charges in war, but it isn’t fairy land, things don’t work that way.  When a soldier is clearing a building and some jihadi runs at him with a rolled up newspaper do you honestly think he is going to take the time to see what the man who is advancing towards him has?  No, there is simply not enough time, mistakes are made, but at the end of the day it is war and it is kill or be killed.  It is not a place for hugs, kisses, and rainbows; it is bloody, sad, and unforgiving.  To all of the peace and brown rice people out there who are imprisoning soldiers for doing their job, shove off.

It is said that “Citizenship is a duty, not a privilege” I am under the impression this was a thing when America was still a great, strong country.  Now, it is neither a privilege nor a duty, it is a chore.  Americans now are shameful when they tell people from other countries where they are from, and that is sad.  This country has fell apart, granted it’s not the worst and that is why people keep immigrating, but it is not even remotely close to what it used to be.  Immigrants always hear about what a fantastic country this is and were poorly informed, because they had the American fantasy 10 years before the country turned into a disaster.
