Quoting catwoman: Quoting zettea: It is difficult for any of us to understand the fears in a soldiers mind before he has to face the risks he is about to take. |
Therefore, they shouldn't be FORCED to do it!!!   Geeeeeeezzzzzzz, can't believe how nationalistic and militant you are!!!
Another great thing about not having a huge army and ALL men of the country brainwashed a nationalistic crap is that it forces the government to be more peaceful! What does it say about human species that not only we separate ourselves into groups but also learn early on how to kill other people and that it's an acceptable way of solving problems!  |
'brainwashing and nationistic crap' is well spotted catwoman.
'breaking free spirit of the young men' should be included up there too.
Look at the young men going to the army and see them later on when they come back. You will see the difference!
20 years old young boys, full of life, energy, all of them are different. See them two months later: They will all look and behave the same. Not full of life anymore, half scared, semi broken. They wont go anywhere without permission. They wont express any ideas, they will just listen and approve.
In Turkey, I always believed, army has a duty to break men's spirits so that they wont become critisising members of the society. They wont rebel agaist the statusquo.
But we know that each statusquo needs critisizing for better. (How you can change the things for better otherwise!)
Apart from all above, there is also the ethical side of being a soldier.
I never ever believed all armies are kept for defence only.
