Discussions on the military
Today I had the opportunity to talk to an acquaintance about the benefits and advantages of life in the Army. A bit of explanation about the fact that nobody is ever made redundant in the military and that it’s a guaranteed income was supposed to convince her to give it a try.
She then went off on the same ol’ looney left liberal spiel about shooting people is always the last answer. The same infuriating blinded point of view that is seen in so many stupid people. It makes me want to smack people around when they spout all that bullshit about war isn’t necessary and shooting people is not the answer.
I told the person I was talking to that her point of view would get her about five feet in the deserts of Afghanistan against a murdering suicide bomber. I explained that my point of view would get me considerably further and give me a much greater chance of living than hers would give her.
Trying to impress upon someone that serving in the military is an act of citizenship, a display of a sense of duty and caring towards innocent fellow human beings, is enough to make almost anyone want to slap somebody.
We both agreed that there will never be peace in the world and there will always be bad people. She said that although there’ll never be peace we should still try to move towards it. I tried to explain it’s pointless and a waste of time KNOWINGLY trying to move towards something that doesn’t exist but she was mindnumbingly stupid and obstinate. She had the nerve to call me brainwashed.
I told her that there will always be bad people… and one of the things that the military does is try to minimise the effect that those bad people have on society.
American President Barack Obama recently announced his decision to send an extra 30,000 troops.
These extra troops are far more likely to make a difference towards saving innocent people from oppression than some looney liberal twit’s misguided and idealistic view. In trying to work for peace without military means… there are only two possible outcomes; the people you’re trying to make see the light listen and change their ways, or they don’t listen and carry on with their bad deeds. Using the military will help if the Taliban don’t listen to some crazy chick from Northwestern Ontario. Her way doesn’t work.
I hate left wing people because 90% of the time they live in an idealistic world which simply isn’t compatible with reality.

You have said well your thinking. You are fighting for our way of life with your own life. God Bless you in all that you do. I will read this blog on a regular basis. God’s speed. Thank you.

Cards on the table, Ryan. Anyone would describe my overall philosophy as left of centre, sort of liberal. I only hate the greedy and violent within the context of local SOCIETY, but not always in the context of world society. Soldiers, the military, are the ONLY ones who can protect the feeble in body and essential thinkers who make society a better place. I am also angry with the peace-mongers who believe that peaceful people can protect us from danger, or ‘take us towards’ peace in the world. Yes indeed, it is a stupid idea, and among the most dangerous that exist.
More cards on the table Ryan. I respect the phenomenon of homosexuality, and the incredible contributions gays have made to western culture. But emotionally I am disgusted by their practices. That is all – that some might get their cocks covered in shit up somebody’s bum disgusts me beyond a joke. I hate to be touched by a gay man, however charming and talented he may be. These two things are my problem however. The idea of drinking from a toilet filled with diarrhea also disgusts me, and who would blame me? The work of a soldier on the front line frightens me to death just thinking about it. All violence between people frightens me, I avoid it like the plague.
Because I am a coward and don’t know how to fight.
That the army, and perhaps you personally may go into battle against a real (not invented) enemy one day and save my family and friends from destruction, is something to be grateful for in my opinion. I shall continue to be frightened by the knowledge of what is happening, and shrink from images of it, but not make stupid comments about the politicians who decided and the soldiers who acted.
I have two daughters and a granddaughter. I would be more than delighted if the world could be rid of every single individual who wants to subjugate them to Islam. One more point – many soldiers are disgusting and horrid people – they are drawn from the general populace after all! However, how can a soldier be ‘nice’and do his job on the front line? How can a leader be ‘human’ and order the army to march? We live in peace in Europe, and the West generally because really NASTY people decided and acted to protect us. They make mistakes. So what? No peace-monger could do this essential job.

Well said Ryan!
And you are damn right – there will always be some bad people here and there in places around the world, wanting to act tough by doing some bad shit to innocent people (women and children) for no just reason.
My own take of your narrative is that you opted to take the Military as your way of serving other people in life and that is what you think as the right thing to do.
Agreeably, as your lady friend thinks, no one is perfect and war is not always the best option; but I would not blame you for performing your duty. Even with the guaranteed income, to be in the military is your call of duty and not for your personal glorification.
And, I agree that no one wins in war, but that does not mean we would have to remain sitting to mind our own businesses – saying injustice will end … just by itself.
Also, not everyone can fight because some voices could not be heard by some stubborn people; so we need some able-body soldiers to do the job for the vulnerable folks like us. An example is the brutal carnage in Sierra Leone, where innocent lives were taken away for selfish gains. Had it not been through the intervention of people like you, the country would have been a ghost land where no one would be able to return.
All we back here need to say is to thank you for risking your life for your fellow human beings.
I send my fondest regards and blessings to all service men and women serving in places around the world, as we approach the New Year 2010.

Reply to Bob. As a homosexualist, I never realised that I was part of a “phenomenon”. I thought I was just a bloke who happens to fancy other blokes. Not even part of a so-called gay community. But now that I know I’m part of a phenomenon I just plain thrilled. Thanks for enlightening me. You’re the best.
And look, if the thought of what two consenting men get up to in private is so repellent you, then how about just not thinking about it. A crazy idea I know, but give it shot. I mean, how many straight couples that you know do you think about what they get up to in private. Apply the same thought pattern (or lack thereof) to same sex couples. Go on I dare you.
