Searcher - good for you. People should support those who are willing to put their lives on the line for others.

 

I have gone the other way now, mind you, and do voluntary ambulance and first aid work in the community.

 

Any sort of voluntary work or public service should be encouraged but since you-know-when, a lot of folks have TALKED a lot about fighting, then doing nothing about it, when they should perhaps first of all think about doing service to the community that is already in need, not ethereal threats against a non-specific external enemy! I presume America has its share of poverty, disease, lack of education and also needs some means of building up and aiding self-discipline in idle youths!

 

I don't wish to sound holier-than-thou here, but I strongly feel that people should put their money - and their time - where their mouths are! However it is perceived that fighting the enemy outwith is a lot more "sexy" than getting one's hands dirty organising a youth club, reading to old people, helping the Red Cross etc, etc to help the people within the country who already need the help! Otherwise what exactly is worth defending??

I saw the video. I didn't surprise me only because I've resigned myself to never underestimate the wretched things people are capable of doing to each other. If anyone has seen any of the Faces of Death videos or gone to rotten.com, you know what I mean. I'd even be willing to bet there's much much worse going on out there... not just physically but psychologically (which is just as devestating if you ask me).

 

I guess all we can do is try to be part of the solution rather than part of the problem and maybe someday the world will be ok.
