I have several friends that have gone of to the wars in Afganistan and Iraq and it saddens me that my friends or anyone would choose this path. It just seems to me that no cause other than self and immediate family is worth risking one’s life for. Especially not the notions of god or country which are always trumpted as reasons to go to war and are given a higher value of esteem the world over. I place the highest esteem on a person’s willingness to live for themself rather than die for their country. I think if everyone on earth were to apply this logic war would ceasee to exist. I will not even pretend that this is anymore than hopeless dreaming but I cannot accept that death is ever heroic let alone noble when there is such a huge gulf between the those who make war and those who fight it.
