What can a government say to its people to make them fight and sacrifice their lives and kill thier neighbours but propaganda. Its absurd that any individual should die for this idea of a nation, a set out boundaries that you happen to be encircled by for the brief duration of your human animal term. Yet it happens and self defence is the hellish reality.
you know i remember some years back i spoke to a young guy who was far Left / Antifa here in Germany & he asked me about being an ex-soldier.
He told me he would never kill another human being no matter what ..
I then asked him, "so what would you do if an enemy soldier was going to stick you like a pig with a bayonet?"
He replied, " I would raise my hands & let him kill me"
