War is a Force that Gives us Meaning


This man talks about the affects of war on people that most do not understand ! ! !

I am not saying that I agree with everything he is saying but I can
with many of his statements because he has lived in and through many
different wars all over the world.

He also speaks of how and why he was effect personally.

bumpus7, You can't answer the question?

No, he does not tell it all, and no, I did not watch the 59 minute, 38 second video... I do not have the time nor desire to listen to Chris Hedges.

Chris Hedges never swore an oath to any military. He was a "War Correspondent" for many years. He is an American Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist, but he never served in the military...

He talks about the effects on himself, and others people not just the milirary.

The title is War is a Force that Gives us Meaning He uses the word US not the military.

There are hundreds of thousand, who are interested including me ! ! !

But I do not see where it belongs in the Military Life and Issues forum. So I am moving it to a more appropriate forum...

Sorry, but I don't have to watch an hour long video of somebody telling me what war does to people. I live it every day and re-live it every night.

How about you?

"War alone brings up to their highest tension all human energies and imposes the stamp of nobility upon the peoples who have the courage to make it."

"War is to man what maternity is to a woman. From a philosophical and doctrinal viewpoint, I do not believe in perpetual peace." – Benito Mussolini


“War or its threat is one of the ways those who control the economic life of the country can make maximum profits." – Gore Vidal

Killing people does give psychopaths a sense of meaning... I would agree with that, but they don't like it when the gun is turned on them. War does not give meaning except to those who love to froth in the mouth, especially if they are hypocritically not in any danger themselves.
