I do not like war. If that bothers you leave me alone with my viewpoint, or say you want the war. What do I have to do with this? Either you want it to continue or you don't. I don't. If you do say so. Leave me out of it. I will continue to try to see a way to bring peace to that region. So put me ignore, or skip my threads. No need to worry about me, I know what I am doing. You think you might know me, but you do not. Quit trying to put me in a box. Walk away. Or tell us all why you support the destruction of Palestine.

I didn't even read this as a political post, but an example of the horrible costs of war.

Most of our young American boys have been gently raised with "don't tease your sister," and, "say good game" after little league. Then we send them off to war, where they see terrible sights and sometimes have to do unspeakable things. Of course a few of them are going to go completely off the rails, while others hold it in and suffer nightmares for the rest of their lives.

Who knows what he saw to make him do such an insane act. I'm sure it could have been an atrocity from either side.
