Soldiers are a detriment. They keep people looking only on the side of their government and military. To fight and march and die gloriously for your country may sound nice, but what of the countless others that believe the same? The countless conflicts that have been initiated by this pride and honor and the caring people have for their soldiers. Is it so different from propaganda? Heroes? You call them heroes? Killing civilians, children destroying lives by the millions and you would call them heroes? How many innocents must die before your view is subject to further consideration? A Hundred? A Thousand? A Million?
Self defence from arbitrary attack may always be a neccesity. But the use of the lives of men and women as a tool for political power, for economic dominance and for social conversion is an evil. And the results of such endevours? Death, destruction and an unyielding sense of one-mindedness. The usual we are right, you are wrong. We are good, you are bad. We must win, you must loose.
It may seem evil to cease support for the soldiers that are at this moment fighting, but they are perpetuating an evil, and it must be stopped.
