"I had hoped we would learn from experience. Two years ago, prior to the invasion of Iraq, I said on the air that Vietnam didn't make me a dove; it made me read the Constitution. Government's first obligation is to defend its citizens. There is nothing in the Constitution that says it is permissible for our government to launch a preemptive attack on another nation. Common sense carries one to the same conclusion: it's hard to get the leash back on once you let the wild dogs of war out of the kennel. Our present Secretary of Defense Donald Rumsfeld has a plaque on his desk that reads, "Aggressive fighting for the right is the noblest sport the world affords." Perhaps, but while war is sometimes necessary, to treat it as sport is obscene. At best, war is a crude alternative to shrewd, disciplined diplomacy and the forging of a true alliance acting in the name of international law. Unprovoked, "the noblest sport of war" becomes the slaughter of the innocent."
its some ridiculous shit that
people dont truly appreciate the power they wield
every dollar you spend
evrey action you make
is a shout to the world of what you believe is permissible
"but alex, you're joining the army"
ya, do yo know why?
cause im sick and tired of people in our generation whining without even fucking attempting to change anything.
"why is shit this fucked up?" = why wont someone change this for me
"fuck america" = i have no clue how to make things different but i wish i did (or, im to dumb to have my own opinion)
stop blaming
stop pointing fingers
step the fuck up to plate and change what you think is wrong
make things right
MAN THE FUCK UP
or just sit on the side complaining
