"War is hell." -- Gen. William Tecumseh Sherman
"In making this music video for "War" by Edwin Starr I tried to get a balance of images from a wide variety of wars and perspectives. This video is NOT anti-Bush, anti-Iraq, anti-Republican, anti-Israel, anti-Muslim, anti-German, anti-American, or against any other country, government, political party, ideology, religion, or people group. It only exposes the consequences of war.
At some level all countries are guilty, guilty of warfare. Wars arise because people are too greedy, stubborn, hateful, angry, or downright evil to resolve conflict peacefully. In some cases it's clearcut who's right and who's wrong. Other times its not. Either way war is a curse mankind has brought on itself.
Now, I plan on making videos highlighting and honoring veterans of past wars. This is not to glorify war. I wish they didn't have to make the sacrifices they did, but when they had to protect us and our freedoms they did with superhuman bravery and valor. That is what I want to honor.
Unfortunately each generation has to learn the truism: 'Freedom isn't free.'"

bl968says...This is a pre-emptive *blog. I want to make sure that the sifters do not feel this video is in violation of the no snuff rule. Please watch and review.
siftbotsays...Sending this video to Sift Talk for discussion (sent by Gold Star member bl968)
grspecsays...I don't have a problem with it becuase it is not snuff. I say return it. I have been debating on posting some WWII dogfight vids that show some really awesome air battles but of course, the guy in the other plane is getting killed. Sooner or later i think we are going to need a tag similar to nsfw for death.
