I consider myself a Pacifist and didn't know this was first from Einstein...and wars continue with old men starting them and young men and women fighting and dying in them.

Old Men Start Wars, Young Men Die In Them | Zero Hedge

And now these 4-5 blood stained star generals living in their laps of luxury collecting their blood stained pensions. Horrid SHAME.

Just hearing Brad Pitt talking about the movie War Machines and it took him visiting Walter Reed Hospital to get a huge awakening. He's been in a lot of war movies.

Well, this is because usually it takes a person almost an entire lifetime to advance to the rank of commander-in-chief. And commander-in-chief is the one that gives the green light for the nation that they represent to get involved in a war. Unless it's a family dictatorship like North Korea.

So this is the reason old men start wars and young men fight in them. Did it really take Einstein to come up with that first?

It's the war thinking/fighting from the testosterone males and it's not about the 4-5 star generals but they are collecting huge sums for the wars they started and so many have died and maimed for life.

Too bad Women don't control MORE OR MOST the world issues and everyone got a massage often...calm them down some. Mothers don't love the grief of losing their sons and especially in wars. No one enjoys losing their children.

Glad my brother avoided the draft and I didn't have the critical thinking about it all then as I have now.

These, of course, my opinions and thoughts and not intended to step on toes...everyone chooses their path in life.

LOL, Yeah, reminds me of that episode of Beavis & Butthead when they go camping with one of their teachers who, during the trip, whips out his acoustic guitar and starts to sing a song he wrote called "Men Have Feelings Too".

Better than pulling out guns and killing each other!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I'm not a church person but some churches have the right idea on holding hands and singing peace songs.

And acknowledging people with a smile and not an angry look...like you are ready to fight/kill.

These days, it's wealthy Chicken Hawks who start the wars and poor or working class youths who risk or sacrifice everything.

And these young people need a paycheck so the military will give them one...and forget them. On another group we were talking about the costs of having a baby and one young woman said it only cost them $2.75 for their baby as the military paid for the birth. I'm thinking yeah, gotta almost lose your life to get that kind of deal. No thanks.
