War is suffering

[FS]

Congratulations Ronnie. That must be the most preposterous statement you have ever made.

Duh. We all know war is hell and causes suffering - that doesn't mean we should sit down and act like it's ordinary everyday business. The moment you stop feeling a shiver go down your spine at the sight of dead bodies on TV is the moment you might as well detach yourself from reality all together and pretend it's a happy joy joy world because your living room looks particularly peaceful.

It's sickened me how things like the MOAB and the Shock and Awe bombardment have been flaunted around and turned into icons of superiority and might.
