Thats a nice find. I can see why people would want to kill themselves after killing innocent peoples. Sometimes when I think about how to kill myself like a man, I say "join the army" hoping Id get killed by an RPG or some other cool way to go out with a boom.

i know it's so sad...i was watching a "news item" about this subject yesterday...poor soldiers, they think they're heros and they're only pawns in the game...all the horrors they face while out god knows where fighting, and then when they come back they are just disgarded by the government etc and left to cope with the effects themselves...of course they're drugged as well and made into zombies...
Why can't people wake up to the system and see things as they really are....

:eek: what a thought...you know in the states it's heading that way...anyone remember in faranheight 9/11 (can't spell it lol) there was a typical American and proud of it mom who sent her apple of her eye son off to get killed in iraq...she was going on and on about it, how she was so proud of her son and proud of herself for offering up her son for the good of the land of the free...protect their setting the example country from the big bad terrorists and get rid of the nasty saddam...
well she never thought it would be her son who she would never see again, he was only like 21 or younger...he was shot or blown up i can"t remember...anyway she realised then it was all a LIE, a big LIE...and her son died for nothing. All she had left was one last letter from him and in the letter he was telling her it is all a LIE. That they'd all been conned.
It was incredible to watch her eat her words after, i felt awful fof her to lose her son but she reaped what she sowed....lol i sound like a preacher lol

Ya reap what ya sow, that's what I was getting at. Let them die... well, at least they're right when they say they're fighting for a cause... 'cause they're getting killed. The only problem is that they're hurting innocent people allong the way.
I can't understand the type of person, even at 21 or 18 or whatever, that joins the army KNOWING there's a chance they're gonna have to kill, in this case, that being a definite. What type of monster is this?
