War Pornography..

US soldiers trade grisly photos of dead and mutilated Iraqis for access to amateur porn.. Yuck - this is truly fucked up..

If you want to see the true face of war, go to the amateur porn Web site NowThatsFuckedUp.com. For almost a year, American soldiers stationed in Iraq and Afghanistan have been taking photographs of dead bodies, many of them

This is the real cost of war. I think there is an important point missing in both your post as well as the article you point to

[metafizzics]

You're so right. Things which seem perfectly commonplace to those people at that time in that place would seem completely inhuman to us here, safely ensconsed in our nice homes and passing judgement while sipping our nice hot cups of tea.
All that death and violence is bound to release the evil, twisted side to every human.

I wish we could rewire our brains in some way- to realise that patriotism or heroism or whatever shitty reason that wars are usually fought for, are really not worth it in the end.

Amaaazing!

I loved this post of yours. Maybe my favourite post from you ever!

Wow. Because you agree with the content, or because you like the delivery ? Does this mean that my communications are improving ?

Content and delivery were eloquent.
There is also the brevity.
You are usually verbose with your thoughts. In the livejournal medium I find it hard to keep reading. I prefer a long conversation over a long blog.

So for those reasons.....It's my favourite blog from you as yet.

Nicely put, anj.. Agree with you.. Was just too tired at the time of writing the post to offer much in the way of original commentary..
