Homosexuals should not be allowed in the military, even under the Don't Ask Don't Tell Policy

There are many reasons why I want to end this institution. As we all know war is not about fixing a social conflict rather it creates more of what it was supposed to fix. War is a business. The only thing that the state has to do is convince its people that the people of another land are evil (terrorists, anarchists, etc.) This is the goal of civilization, to separate us from each other so that we all become disconnected individuals who spend the majority of there waking hours working for some job and never truly living their lives. We are classified from the day we our born till the day we die. Our social relations have been broken down to our family (if even that) and the people we work with. We our strangers to the people we live by, the land we live on, and to ourselves. We our told to associate with the institutions that our ruining our lives. We our told that happiness comes from some consumer product that was made by some kid who works 14 hours a day in a factory. We waste our lives doing repetitive tasks so that we can keep our American standard of living. "We have to stop CONSUMING our culture. We have to CREATE culture. DON'T watch TV, DON'T read magazines, don't even listen to NPR. Create your OWN roadshow. The nexus of space and time where you are -- NOW -- is the most immediate sector of your universe. And if you're worrying about Michael Jackson or Bill Clinton or somebody else, then you are disempowered. You're giving it all away to ICONS. Icons which are maintained by an electronic media so that, you want to dress like X or have lips like Y... This is ****-brained, this kind of thinking. That is all cultural diversion. What is real is you, and your friends, your associations, your highs, your orgasms, your hopes, your plans, your fears. And, we are told No, you're unimportant, you're peripheral -- get a degree, get a job, get a this, get that, and then you're a player. You don't even want to play that game. You want to reclaim your mind and get it out of the hands of the cultural engineers who want to turn you into a half-baked moron consuming all this trash that's being manufactured out of the bones of a dying world. - Terrence Mckena The military seeks a primitive form of domination with different ranks and orders to be followed. This hierarchy with strict rules breaks down their morality and makes soldiers irrational so that they will kill innocent people without thought for other people or themselves. Our Culture is like this and if you don't see that then look around. Its all around. Question the world and you will see many problems. ( because were told what to do and what to think we never question our beliefs ) We have become so irrational that we don't think its wrong for a person to spend most of their waking hours working ( we never have time to recover from all the stress ). This is because our culture has crafted our values and beliefs. We have never been brought up to a community rather we our on our own in this lonely world. So what is war? Is it the massacre of third world people. Is it the horrible effects PTSD on soldiers. Or does our society reflect war. Our Culture is War. And this is my point. We go through war every day and we don't even realize it. Whether its listening to boring objectified facts in school or not having enough time to spend with the people you love. We must change. In Conclusion the military is simply one of these lost causes of fear and exploitation. It follows the hierarchy of our culture and leaves mass suffering for all. It shows us how dominate our culture is and objectifies itself by creating an enemy to fight. There was a time when we lived in peace with nature but now we fight amongst ourselves. If our culture requires a military then there most be something wrong with our culture.
