Entry: The Rise of the Post-paleos (a second look) Link: http://www.takimag.com/blogs/article/the_rise_of_the_post_paleos_a_second_look#30740 Post contents: <I>It is probably the least vicious and the most restrained war launched by the US in the last hundred years, give or take a few minor interventions such as the ones in Grenada.</I> One of the great evils about war is the way it destroys morality and common sense. Americans are so used to war they become either blind to its attendant evils (Women killed in combat zones)or so inured to evil that it seems mundane. Worse, having been told about the number of women dying in combat zones in Afghanistan and Iraq, many mount a defense of such abject evil. In our current wars, Mothers of children as young as one year old have been killed in combat zones thousands of miles away from home. One woman died while a prisoner in Iraq. She was prolly tortured to death. Do you think she had thoughts about her young child at home missing her? Who the hell can defend such evil? When America is sending Mothers, Wives, and Daughters off to foreign lands in an unnecesary war to tote weapons in war zones, who gives a rat's ass how this war compares to other wars? It does not get any worse than this. As a nation we have descended into pagan savagery that makes comparison with previous wars moot. Wars always lead nations further down the path to destruction and the wars corrupt and coarsen the citisens (Paul Fussel is right)to the point where we are barely distinguishable from our enemies. http://www.cmrlink.org/printfriendly.asp?docID=292 http://www.pbs.org/newshour/bb/military/july-dec07/women_07-05.html Sent at: 2008 12 01
