Thank you so much, @tngflx! I really appreciate you taking the time to read my post and comment on it. You're wrong about one thing, though...there is something we can do about it. Wars can't be fought if we, the cannon fodder, refuse to fight them. But that's probably a pipe dream because as long as there is injustice and oppression in the world, people will always find the draw of the benefits of the military to be too good to miss out on. But I dream of the day when we are all awake enough to realize that we can stop wars by refusing to take part in them.
