22. Art is a great outlet for the intense emotions war and combat bring about

It's a challenge that most veterans aren't up to, but I feel it is a combat veteran's responsibility to spread the word of how shitty war is - and art is a great way to do that.

I know I didn't feel any overwhelming sense of patriotism or glory while I was deployed in Iraq in 2004. The general population needs to be constantly reminded of the horrors of war, not immages and propaganda of how glorious it is. People like George W. Bush and Romney who say that they feel cheated out of the opportunity to fight in a war and miss out on the "glorry" (I wish I could find the quotes, especially from George W. [I believe he was giving a speach to the 82nd Airborne Division before they were getting ready to deploy]) are dangerous.

Here is an alarming statistic: the ratio of civilians killed to Soldiers killed in wars in the 20th century is 10:1 (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Civilian_casualty_ratio)
