I want to do a quick follow up on my post from yesterday due to a comment I received on it. In the post from yesterday, I discussed the military and how I believed that those in the military were usually manipulated to think that they were going off to fight for some glorious cause; when in reality they would be killing innocent people for a corrupt government. However, I didn't go into nearly enough detail as I should have with my opinion and thus caused a little confusion. I'd like to thank my Aunt Michelle for her very thoughtful comment on my post, and close my idea a bit.
I do believe that our country needs a good military- for defense purposes. For when other countries attack US. But the issue I have with war is that the last time I checked, we had gone and stuck our own nose where it didn't belong due to oil or some other such trivial matter; and the country we invaded had retaliated. That, in my opinion, is not any of our military's business. You're literally sending people to go die over-seas for a cause they may not know anything about. Can you imagine explaining to a grieving family that their child had just sacrificed their life so that some big government-funded corporation could make a better deal? I can't see that going well. I mean no disrespect to those who recognize the corruption- and obviously; there are those who do. In the end, it's their choice and if they believe they are called to defend our country; then by all means have at it. In today's world, it does seem like things can happen out of nowhere... a beautiful example being all the bombings going on. I'm just completely against people who get manipulated to the point that they can't see what's in front of them. Those who join knowing exactly what they are going into have at least a good portion of their wits about them. That, I hope, ties up the loose ends from my last post. Good day. - Maddie
