| yes, but the reasonably well paid career comes at a human price, and a compromise: if given the orders, would i be able to do something that is wrong ? am i willing to be a cog in a machine of destruction (excuse the flowery language!) controlled by greed, for the benefit of a few ?
of course, as it was pointed out, the army is not just that. unfortunately, anyone who enroll would have to be prepared to be part of it. especially given the actual state of the world. I am not judging anyone enrolling, i just cannot feel for them, the same as they cannot have thought about the misery that they have the potential to spread. but i am just repeating myself here.
The country lacks teachers/nurses, doctors and i forget a few..so i dont agree, there are other reasonably well paid carrers.
bu yeah, this scenario is the worst they could have faced. same as someone playing russian roulette. there is a outcome you dont really want to see.
for your next comment, you dont know who the enemy is. granted, but shifting the blame on SH or afghanistan was a crafty piece of work. There are still no proof to this day that bin laden was involved in planing/funding 9-11. nor there are proofs that indeed, the taliban was giving him shelter.
the so called underground base were pure invention. there were no link between SH and 9-11, or al kaida. but the conflict needed an ennemy. and SH was the ideal candidate. so i dont think we are taking the fight to the enemy, we invented the enemy instead. and it ties up. the 9.11 bombers lived in europe, the 7th july bombers lived in the UK. the madrid bombers were north africans.
as you say, we dont know who the enemy is.. therefore, why invade irak ??
agreed, if you are sure he is the bad guy, take him out... SH has yet to be trailed. if he really was that much of monster, he would have been trailed in 92. yet, he has already been condemmed to die. The current charge on his trial is laugheable. They want to convict him for having a few insurgent executed. those guys tried to assasinate SH, were caught, sentenced to death by trial, following iraki laws, and executed... how different is this from what bush does in texas ? who decides who the bad guy is.
and again, the 1st and 2nd world war were conscripts war. not to be compared.
on your final point, you were unfortunately proven wrong last july.
i need a chill pill.  |
