All War-n out

I have read Black Watch, Jarhead, and Shooting War, and I must say I am warn out. I don't want to see, hear, think, or even associate myself with another conflict unless one of my friends in the military actually wants to talk about it. I have turned my TV off, I have blocked myself from accessing news websites, I can't get internet on my phone, I am done with war.

It's not that I don't appreciate who is fighting the war, as I said I have friends in Afghanistan and Iraq and I hope that they are safe and protected every day; but I cannot watch or listen to anyone talk about spilling blood. In Black Watch we find again our Jarheads who fight "their war" and are looking for men to kill. This does not equate to my version of manhood. The ideal soldier is not the one who kills the most, but the one that regrets the most that he kills. However I think Swoffard would agree that the soldiers of Black Watch were part of his "Fucked situation." Stranded in the desert after an IED attack waiting for rescue certainly qualifies.
