Watched the movie and cried like a squeezed orange.
It was about a married american captain who went to war and there to come back to his wife and his 2 daughters he got to kill his comrade who also got married and had a new-born son. Then the captain got racked by the feelings of guilt and became more obsessed and could not get out he hurt his family, whom he cherished so much.
I thought about this thing i've always had in mind.
Do you have to pick up the gun and go to war and shoot the invaders to be called a patriot?
I'm not a patriot myself, i suppose.
I'm madly scared of death, of being killed, i'm constantly sick of people and everything around me. So i guess i'm not that one.
But more than that, i don't like the idea of holding the gun in your hands and shoot the enemies to death. It's based on how many you could annihilate?
I know there're lots of people who say "we're the ones who were invaded, they set foot in our country and we must protect ours, we will go take the field once the war's broken out", we're the victims so that it makes sense to do so?
The enemy soldiers are told that their country is invaded and they're the victims too. They're brainwashed, so what are they supposed to do?
We're all the victims.
If you want to shoot someone, why not shoot the one(s) who carried out the war?
Is revolutionary violence the only way to bring back the independence and peace for the people?
I hope there's another way, there's at least a way with no forcing, no guns, no bombs, no killing...
Is it possible?
