(4,876 posts)Blind faith is required no matter what. Unless you are in the middle of it you have no idea if what you are being told is true or not. When they bomb some "suspected insurgents" does that make you happy? I see those words used all the time "suspected insurgents". What the fuck does that even mean? Am I a "suspected insurgent" for typing this?
I see pictures of bloody and dead children and am told that this "collateral damage" is necessary to the security of the United States. And what? I'm just supposed to take their word for it? That there is no other way to survive this "war on terror"? That we cannot win without "collateral damage"?
I'll say this again, blind faith is a requirement. How many people believed the Jessica Lynch "Rambo" story? How about Abu Grahib? How about the billions of missing dollars? Pat Tillman? Do you think had these stories not been exposed you would know the truth? Blind faith.
One last thing, If this is a war, you are not going to win this by killing terrorists. All killing terrorists does is create more terrorists.
