Hello,

Doug I thought you closed the thread. Guess you missed it.

All I can say is that if there would be no military there would be no war. Swiss has no army and had never been in the war. There are NO enemies only people being brain washed on both sides that all.
You are right that there are a lot of people being brain washed and bought into the stuff politicians say (afterall pretty much all military in civilized countries answer to politicians). But it also depends on where you draw the line with having or not having a military. If you take the no military example far enough you can even say there should be no cops with weapons. Besides, there is a military for Swiss. Might not be big but nevertheless it still is. For future reference though, if you want to think no military, try Hong Kong as an example. Whether it was the Brits before 97 or now the Chinese after 97, the military that was and is now stationed here doesn't really belongs to HK.

Anyway, while some countries are quite aggressive and hostile, some countries do have good intensions but take it a bit too far with their world policing idealism, there are also countries like Canada that aren't really interested in being gun ho about stuff other than seeing what we can do for what we have available by participating in "peace keeping" missions. Yes we do have a bit of a scar with what happened at Somalia but I see that as nothing other than an isolated incident. It's no different than a well run police force with a few "not-so-good" individuals.

I also don't believe by thinking it's cool to fire a gun (which in military terms correctly speaking is an artillery), is equivalent to getting off feeling good killing people. If I am offered an opportunity to fire one of those things, I too will think it's cool. And I can assure you I have no interest in killing people, nor will I get off by doing so. It also has to do with the special factor, doing something that not the average person do. Whatever reason it is, doesn't matter.

I personally think the idea of ROLMAO about someone being killed for any reason is retarded.And in case your wondering I'm not some anti war person and have nothing against big guns just don't think anyone cares that you get off on killing people.JMO CLINT
Now, you can't blame Clint writing this though with Mike writing ROLMAO on the same line as artillery shells impacting people.
