I do give a damn what anyone says , but i refuse to accept the notion that war is noble, it simply is not i've seen plenty of proof to the contrary

War is much more than a "rotten business," its hell but there are times that there is no other choice. Unfortunately you have not realized this just yet. Suppose you would argue that WW2 was not needed? Korea? Gulf War 1?
How many of these wars was Belgium an active participant in? How many soldiers did they provide to help the world fight agression? Ask the South Koreans how they felt when North Korea over-ran their country with no notice in 1950. Ask the Kuwaiti's how they felt when the same thing happened as Iraq rolled over their land, killing, raping and stealing everything in sight in 1990. Will not ask about WW2 as we all know how fast Belgium surrendered instead of fighting. Poland stood their ground, fought and slowed down the Nazi's more than Belgium did.
You were the one who commented on my being a pilot and insulated from things at 30,000 feet, so now when I show that I was not always sitting in a cockpit you refuse to comment on it?
You will continue to "not give a damm about it" as long as you and yours continue to waive the white flag of surrender to anyone to approaches your country and society. You have done it for century's and will probably continue. Its hard to grow a backbone in a spineless creature. Enjoy your snails for lunch bucko...
