Eye for and eye basically, sure its been around for thousands and thousands of years, but that doesn’t mean I have to accept it as right. I think its wrong. Call me a bleeding heart, but I personally think humans are better than that. I don’t think what either side is doing is right. War and everything that comes with it may be necessary to survive in the past, but when it boils down to it, War is going to destroy us all.Now you can think, “these people will never understand us, that they don’t want to negotiate.” I agree, some of them are hopeless. Simply taking them out, is indeed effective, but again is a step backwards in my mind in terms of our progression as a species. Blowing them up brings up more complex issues. Those blocks that were blown up, are gone now. Anyone who wasn’t an enemy who may have had friends/associations/families or anyone there, anything there, is now an enemy. You see the endless cycle?
I’m not saying we should give up our fights right this second, and I’m not dogging any soldier because of them I have the freedom to type this reply. The evolution of war has changed, and eventually it will change again. We will eventually have to evolve from warring altogether, or we will end up just blowing each other off the planet.
I’m just saying if you crush the will to fight they will no longer fight. It has been proven over and over again throughout different wars. You have to make it too costly for them to continue and then they’ll stop. By us handcuffing our soldiers we needlessly endager them and cost them more lives in the field. We need to take the handcuffs off and let those in the field handle it as they feel it should be handled cause there the ones who live it everyday instead of politicians in washington making those decisions for them
