I read an interesting page today. It was titled “A Soldier’s Creed by a Bomber Pilot“. It is about World War II. The author discusses the reasons of World War II in relation to the Great War (a.k.a.~ WWI). The author suggests that we reflect on the last war and re-evaluate our reasons for the current war (WWII). As they say, history does repeat itself. Although the circumstances are different, I believe that OIF and OEF is very similar to WWII. Some people claim that it is a war for money, oil, and greed. I’m sure it is for some people, but isn’t every war? In the page from the bomber pilot, he basically states that people have different reasons for war. When people say that this war is about money, they’re basically saying that I’m a goon and just doing the will of my boss to increase his stash. I really don’t like that. I have my own opinion, and I refuse to become a victim of stupidity.

Word of caution: this is a really long post. (more…)
