    Your grandfather was very brave ❤️ It’s sad that ordinary people are sometimes forced to choose between bravery and monstrosity. But there it is.

    And frankly, us military members are not forced. They can just…have a normal life instead.

      Yeah. Why not just lead a normal life.

      I wish society would frown upon people choosing to become soldiers like they do upon prostitutes. But instead, all this glorification and militarism makes them think being a soldier is a commendable thing.

      In my view, prostitutes should get the medals. They literally make love, not war.
