Analysis

People argue about war all the time. I don't see the problem with it. War is a must. To quote a line from a vinyl album by Eddie Starr, "War. uh yeah, what is it good for"?  I'll tell you what its good for. War lets those that believe in this country to fight for justice for all the wrong doings that have ever been done to this great nation. War lets us fight for the rights that we still have with hopes that we will be able to keep them. War, also, gives us the opportunity to keep the right to vote for our leader, instead of someone taking control of this country by force, and telling us all what to do and how to do it.

To be able to fight for justice is a great opportunity that people should take advantage of. Its the ONE excuse we have to fight those that have ever done this country wrong, on a national level, or even a personal level, if you have ever lost a family member by someone fighting in a war. You get to have to relief to know that the enemy will not get a way with what they have done to you or your family. You get to stand against evil and beat it back with a gun or bomb. There is no better way to defend your honor by killing those that have killed someone you love. I can't think of a better way to get revenge. I would love to be able to just go out on the street and beat the crap out of people that have done me wrong, however, I can't. War is the answer to that. 

You get to fight for your rights that you take advantage of everyday. Without war, how would you explain being able to keep your rights? We are free to say as we please, and practice whatever religion you are. If we didn't fight, do you think those freedoms would stay? The only right that you would have without fighting a war, is the right to remain silent. No one likes hearing those words, but if there were no wars to fight, that all you would hear. Take what you know about everything, and reverse it. We would walk through the streets with our heads hanging lower than they already do. You all bitch and cry about the little things that change, even though you never did those things anyways. You just want a reason to bitch about SOMETHING. SHUT UP! See, I have the right to say that. You have the right to listen. No one likes being told what to do, or what to say or think or feel. War is the way to keep these rights to over come our oppressors. 

WE get to vote for our leaders. Now granted not everyone likes who gets chosen, and that fine. How would you like it if we didn't get to pick the nations powers? It is simple. Vote for who you like, and don't vote for the other guy. If we didn't go to war, we would no longer be in a democracy. It would quickly turn into a dictatorship. The strongest would lead the country, because they would take over by force. That can't be right. If they took over the country by force, what makes you think that they will let you keep your rights? They will run you with the same force they used to take over. I know I don't like to be forced to do anything., but hey, you might. That is what you are saying when you oppose war. You are saying that we shouldn't fight for any of these things and just let things happen, but when that does happen, I am sure that all of you will bitch about that too. However, it won't do you any good at that time. Your words will not be heard, and their will be done.

In summary, opposing war is your right. While you negate the opinion that war is wrong, others are fighting to give you that right. You don't think about that do you? If you can't stand behind our troops, feel free to stand in front of them. They will do the fighting for you, because you are too much of a coward to fight for yourself. War is a great war to end injustice. It is the way to keep your rights as a civilian. It is the way to make sure that the people we vote for get elected into office. War is the way.
