WAR

War

We’ve all heard it said, ‘fighting doesn’t solve anything’, it’s bad, really bad. From the school playground to the crusades to Vietnam to Iraq, people question whether fighting or war was the answer to resolve the conflict. I am going to make perhaps a controversial point now and say that I think that sometimes war is the answer, and unfortunately the only answer.

I draw your attention to World War One and World War Two, the genocide of millions of Jews, blacks, homosexuals and anyone else who didn’t quite match up to the Arian race stereotype as laid out by Adolf Hitler. I feel that some things in life are worth fighting for; the protection of freedom is one of those things.

I once came across a man who fought in the Second World War called Robert Dally he told me some stories of what he had seen, he was shot and captured and spent some time towards the end of the war in Auschwitz, he had tears in his eyes as he told me about what he had seen and experienced in war, I had never fully grasped or appreciated what those men and women had went through for me. They fought for a righteous cause and in the end their sacrifice was worthwhile as it preserved those essential freedoms that would otherwise have been lost. Those who were brave enough to fight in this cause should be held as heroes.
