Changed my perspective...

Rating: Null/10 (31 August 1998)

My family has been in the military for many generations. I was in the Air Force and flew in Desert Storm. Even though I'm out now, I play a lot of paintball so that I can get a taste of the thrill of combat. In a way, I 've glorified war all my life... with my particular wartime experience and all the war movies that have come out, it's been easy to think of war in a detached sort of way.
After seeing SPR, I've totally changed my mind. I don't cherish the thought of charging on a battlefield anymore. What I did in DS was antiseptic and was NOTHING like what someone would encounter on the ground. I really felt like I was there with those ground troops... I don't ever want to be there for real. Just that small taste of the real horrors of war is enough for me.
Even so, if I am called to defend my country once again, I would do it. I won't refuse to fight for America and it's allies if I have to... I just won't be the first one in line calling for military action.
