very good i agree with everything he seas i cnt belive stuff like this isent bradcast on tv and made more acessable. we need anti war propiganda. and seperate the realty of war from the conceptoins people have of war at the moment.

westysays...

Intrestingly he refers to the preconseptoins of war produced by the midea and films. i think if you play war games like bf2142 u can quite esealy reolise how random unfair anoying and confusing war would be. and for me games like this would discorage me from wanting to fight in a war becuse u reolise how littel skill will help keep you alive. aditoinaly im a pacafist so id suck in a war annyway

Why doesn't this charlatan take his pathetic road show to the Middle East or North Korea? Plea with the savages who want worldwide sharia and kill anyone who defies radical islam?

Answer: it's a lot safer in commiefornia, collecting a check from marxist ivory-tower eggheads to spay an audience of trustafarian punkasses with exactly what they want to hear.

Not one of these pious anti-war pricks talk about the consequences when evil wins, probably because to them, there's no such thing as evil.

Communists slaughtering 7 million South Viets and Cambodians after the US pulled out of Vietnam, betrayed by American leftists. We don't talk about that. Or the 100 million murdered by communism worldwide.

Be gone, charlatan. Take the train.

Its sad cause its true, my cousin's husband came over from Nam right about the same time USA was pulling out. Made it just in time too, the rest of his family is dead. There is war and then there is right and wrong. There are casualties and murders. Peace in a world full of people that live only to control and kill others isnt real.

Whenever I see someone advocating war, I can't wait to see them personally experience it.

What difference does it make to the dead, the orphans and the homeless, whether the mad destruction is wrought under the name of totalitarianism or the holy name of liberty or democracy?

- Mahatma Gandhi (1869 - 1948), "Non-Violence in Peace and War"

Never, never, never believe any war will be smooth and easy, or that anyone who embarks on the strange voyage can measure the tides and hurricanes he will encounter. The statesman who yields to war fever must realize that once the signal is given, he is no longer the master of policy but the slave of unforeseeable and uncontrollable events.

- Sir Winston Churchill (1874 - 1965)

Every gun that is made, every warship launched, every rocket fired signifies, in the final sense, a theft from those who hunger and are not fed, those who are cold and not clothed. This world in arms is not spending money alone. It is spending the sweat of its laborers, the genius of its scientists, the hopes of its children. This is not a way of life at all in any true sense. Under the cloud of threatening war, it is humanity hanging from a cross of iron.

- Dwight D. Eisenhower, From a speech before the American Society of Newspaper Editors, April 16, 1953
