You're the same as the rest.

An excerpt from a thought rant i was on a few nights ago:

The view from up here is stunning.
The little people with their guns, all running.
Slowly they die as they kill and fight
All over the field, i can see their insides.
We sit and drink tea and have a scone;
We are the only two left when everyone is dead or gone.
War is a glorious way to die.
For one's country, but no, not i...
No, I sit and drink tea with a scone.

What is war good for? Why do the high-ups never have to get their hands dirty and why are they worth more than anyone else. I apologize if you have an affinity for the military and are reading this, but how much of it is really, really necessary. I was at Camp Pendleton yesterday and watched countless copters fly by and tanks rumble down the beach, meanwhile the hovercrafts were running parallel to shore. How much money does that place spend every day on excessive drills and playing with toys so that they can say they are being productive. Why doesn't the military give to the community and impact the local area for the better while they are not deployed. I am not saying the military should not exist. They potentially sacrifice their lives to save ours, i just think they have better things to be doing while they are at home... and if they are about promoting the free and prosperous lifestyle, why not help people who are not prospering. You want more government programs, why don'y you enact something that will help us instead of simply making more corporations government owned so that they can still never make up for the federal deficit. Our countries morals are upside down and their definitions for things are misguided. If we can't do it right, who will? It's kind of a somber thought when you think into the thick of it. There are thousands of people who cant eat every day in this country, yet our military spends a lifetimes worth of food for a person on a quarter mile tank drill ,in gas. I'm just asking for us to be a little bit more considerate to those around us... and it should start with the government. The "leading example (arguable)" of our great nation.
