Re: [RC] [RC] WARNING - POLITICAL delete at will! - Shelley Kerr

So what would you do if you were told you had to give up your house and everything you own and know?  The meaning behind the quote, is if you have nothing to fight for, then what do you have to live for?  Everyone has something they are willing to fight for, whether it being what they believe in, their family, or physical possessions.  War is not an individual fight so the concept of what it is all about is sometimes not fully understood by each individual.
Shelley
 
 
 
For some people, the unwillingness to wage war has nothing to do with personal safety.

War is an ugly thing, but not the ugliest of things. The decayed and degraded
state of moral and patriotic feeling which thinks that nothing is worth war
is much worse. The person who has nothing for which he is willing to fight,
nothing which is more important than his own personal safety, is a miserable
creature and has no chance of being free unless made and kept so by the
exertions of better men than himself.
