Why I hate war

[AndyJWest]

The voice is clearly a modern child. So what? The basic facts are correct. Do some research. Or ask anyone who went through it. My mother did.

But yes, the reference to TV is wrong. The BBC stopped broadcasting TV entirely during WWII.

Definately a Kiwi.. Not Australian.

The girl sounds australian..? Gaesmaesk. Haeppy. etc.

I couldn't find a shrugging smiley.

I agree with IvanK , the girl narator sound like a Kiwi (New Zealander).

Ok, Kiwi then. Thanks
It was just hard for me to understand some of it, because of the accent.

this video makes me think about the nature of war:

if he had gone with an ak47 he wouldn last a second

but the way he did it i have to contain my tears

then of course came the news of tianamen bloody killings but this was what we all saw

If seen such things happen back in 1992 in Sarajevo so i find such a statement neither cool nor funny. Just saying.

Sorry if I hurt your feelings , but there are only two options.

a: not entering the tank in the first place and join the opposition
b: be loyal to the regime and do your job as commanded.

Which means I was in the tank I would run him over, maybe do an "wenden an Ort" too.
So no, there was no fun in my statement, not at all.
Btw: I know a few guys who served down there, some deserted, some didn't. the stories they brought with them - well, I'd have prefered not to hear some at all.
Then again, so's war - and humans.(and no, we are not born "good")
