The Real Problem

It's time for you to realize exactly what the big problem is.  It's not war, nor is it pollution.  It isn't poverty, and it isn't racism.  It is the lack of love.  How we treat each other, on a personal level, directly is displayed in the environment around us.  Love one another.  Doing that makes a difference before anything else does.

The Army is "Freakin' out man".

So, Lolita C. Baldor, a writer with the AP, wrote a nice piece on desertion rates rising in the United States Army. Check it out here:

Anyways, you may be wondering what good ole' Brad has to say about this. Well, people, it's about damned time.

And guess what? The longer this war drags on, the lower the morale gets. And the lower the morale gets, the sooner they (the US Government) will be forced to end this travesty.

But why is morale so low? Hmmmmmm, could it be the fact that if you go to Iraq, one of 3 things is most likely to occur:

1. You're gonna get your ass shot or blown off.

2. You're gonna end up killing someone...probably a civilian or freedom fighter, but never a terrorist.

3. You're gonna get Post Traumatic Stress Disorder.

Which brings me to my next point.

REDACTED. The new Brian Dipalma film. It comes out this Friday. GO SEE IT PEOPLE. You wonder what it's really like for a soldier over there? Well this is your magic little window into their world.

PEACE
