Trying to follow the logic of the anti-warriors
I know that stupid knows no bounds on the Internet, especially in Youtube comments. But this is a special class of myopia. Watch this video, then read some of the comments.
The first thing you notice is that people will actually slap down some of the stupid, but it keeps popping up like a petulant child.
The stupid in this case is that all military personnel are murderers and that if they just didn’t sign up, there would be no more wars. Oh, and “defending your country” doesn’t involve taking the fight to the enemy.
Let’s follow that last one to its logical conclusion, because in the context of WWII, Pat Buchanan has stated that we shouldn’t have been involved in Europe because Germany didn’t attack us. Were it not for our involvement, Hitler would have won. You cannot convince me that the world would be a better place if that had happened.
So if you’re going to have stupid opinions, can you at least do the rest of us a favor and think through the implications beyond the first move?
As I keep saying, nobody plays chess any more. Can’t think more than one move into the future.
