War, what is it good for.........

I'm always touched by video tributes to fallen soldiers. But, at the same time, it only strengthens my belief that you can't gain peace from war. I find it odd that, living in a country that gained it's freedom hundreds of years ago, that we insist on claiming that every war we step in to is to fight for something we essentially already have. Mean while, letting our own country crumble while leaving us sesptable to our own self destruction. My views on war are generally something i keep to myself, as most of the men and some of the women in my family have either fought in a war, or were inlisted in some branch of the Armed Forces. And while i'm proud to say that my grandfather fought in WW2 and that many of the men in my family proudly served this country in some form or another, I myself, feel differantly about war than they do. In my experiance, many people believe that if you don't support a war, then you obviously don't support the people who are out there risking their lives. That idealogy is completely wrong. Many people who believe as i do, support the PEOPLE out there fighting, but not what they're fighting for. Because face it, we aren't fighting to gain freedom for the U.S., we fighting just to fight.
