Explaining War

lol....i figured i would just say that since "some" people seem to think that shit anyway.....bwwwhahahahahaha ;)

doing good sexy....just getting ready to head out the door...time to go buy about 30lbs of chicken....talk to you soon....muah!!!
 
Classically "Ranger-esque".....

Many men and women have died SELFLESSLY defending and helping others. They come from all socio-economic backgrounds, ethnicities, religions. ALL HAVE MY RESPECT AND ETERNAL GRATITUDE.

Many men and women have dedicated their lives (not DIED but dedicated their lives' work) ALSO IN THIS PURSUIT.

Who is "righter"... who is "better"? Is the soldiers' sacrifice any greater than the sacrifice of a missionary nun? Is the impact of the leader of a nation any greater than the impact of a kindergarten teacher from Kentucky?... and so what if it was - Is that determined solely by fame and notariety? Who is to say that that because of the influence of that particular kindergarten teacher a future nation's leader will not be able to DIRECTLY AFFECT POLICY OR LAW?!

...Or is the mere conception of such a question totally missing the point?

"If one can not impact hundreds of thousands then perhaps they shouldn't even bother trying to positively affect EVEN ONE OTHER PERSON?!" RIGHT?

We all have a place in this world. How we choose to impact the lives of others is not determined by ANY EXTERNAL FORCE - IT IS DETERMINED SOLELY BY THE CONTENT OF OUR CHARACTER.

THAT IS ALL I AM SAYING...

Perhaps I am simple and if the shoe fits I will gladly wear it.
 
And not to split hairs but since Ranger said that he didn't necessarily agree with the original author's point of view (though he didn't deny agreeing with it either) I am still curious as to why he felt the need to begin this thread posting THAT PARTICULAR article.

Ranger's words:

"No. 1... I never said I wrote, nor agreed with that article.
No. 2... Because I posted it, I was attacked, sent horrible red karma, and even 1 very nasty PM.
No. 3... On this post, did I ever once advocate this post as a lesson to our young children..."

He then went on to say that his whole point had something to do with diplomacy...

I do not understand how the article he posted had ANYTHING to do with diplomacy.
 
Once again a thread about explaining war has turned into orgies, smoochies, chicken and a discussion of other inanimate objects. I think this is a direct reflection of our society. We cannot make up our minds, is this war about WMD's, MOABS, SBDS, STD's, freeing the Iraqi's or spreading democracy? Until we learn to focus our energy I don't think we can complete any of these objectives. To quote MassiveGunz reporting from Iraq:

Bors, I tink Sadman is deaf. I droped a hyuge siens boms on him. Ther's a lot of lootin goin on. Ia m lokin fer som MGDies but can't find em. The iraqistani ladis luv my mountin us gunz. Hey bors, can u faxs me som MGD's if ure pikin up what i'm putin down on my cel phon.
 
I'm still trying to figure out what was so offensive about the original post.....
Sometimes you have to stand up and do the right thing.
Sometimes war is the only solution and sometimes you have to look at the greater good. So what if we will benefit down the road, it doesn't make us any less justified now.

The french seem to have forgotten what we did for them, I hope we are not so quick to forget what they didn't do.
