Here is a little tidbit meant for all those who say that war is evil, and that we hav no reason to be fighting. I joined the military in hopes that I might help to make this nation, and the world a safer place for everyone. This even means that I serve to uphold the rights of all those who may spit in my face for the very fact that I do serve... Those people disgust me, and anyone who believes that they are justified can take a flying leap head first off of a 10 meter diving board into an empty pool...
"War is an ugly thing, but not the ugliest of things. The decayed and degraded state of moral and patriotic feeling, which thinks that nothing is worth war is much worse. The person who has nothing for which he is willing to fight, nothing which is more important than his own personal safety, is a miserable creature and has no chance of being free unless made and kept so by the exertions of better men than himself."
-John Stuart Mill (1806-1873)
