Morning and Big Love,
Having been serving in Iraq twice since '03 with the British Army I have seen the failure out there 1st hand I have spent a whole year of my life out there and for what??? For me, nothing.... and for the people of Iraq..... well the statistics are staggering, 100's of thousands of innocent civilains killed since '03 alone and many many more to come unfortunately.
I joined the army as a last resort, involved in bad tings in my home town 6 years ago and going nowhere fast I signed up to try and get a good platform in life. As a peacefist probably not the best thought out move but still it gave me a good work ethic and taught me alot so all is not lost.
Anyway what I want to say is this, I have become totally disallusioned with the Army and especially the government. As a soldier who sees things 1st hand it is easy to tell that TONY BLAIR CONSTANTLY LIES about Iraq and Afghanistan and so do all the other polititions. They had no procedures in place for replacing any infrastructure in Iraq and that is evident today when you drive round the streets and see the place in a worse state than ever. All they wanted to do was get rid of Saddam for their own personal glory. It make my blood boil when I see these wicked men on the television preeching their rubbish about countries that they have no right to mess with. And as soldiers you are told nothing except to do your job. Whatever happened to there being a moral reason for war or military action?
That would make me want to fight, if we were doing something positive but we are not. Let there be no question of that, nothing positive will come out of these countries as a result of military action by the west, not in the long run and not for the INNOCENT people who have to live in these countries.
Being in the army has taught me this; All polititions are liars to some degree and politics is based on deceit and smug smiles. War is disgusting and I want to get my self as far from it as possible. The British Army soldiers are used as pawns in political games by people who this country elected to make life better for us (ironic to think that many of those peoples children have been killed out in the middle east) The west has learnt nothing from their mistakes in the past of going into other peoples rightful countries heavy handed for their own politacal gain its just embarrassing to say the least the impression we must be making on the wider global community. Military action by the west is undoubtedly increasing terrorism when it is meant to be reducing it!!!
The world is in a real mess, many people on here may preech peace and 1 love but do you actually know what you are talking about? Most of the problems around the world will never be sorted now by saying 'hey guys just make friends it'll be ok now!' Its so complicted and I wouldn't know where to start, and sickeningly alot of it caused by the UK and the US... so that gives us something to be proud of???!!! And lastly before I joined the army I was pretty patriotic and proud to be British, now i'm just embarrassed, we are a country of greedy, selfish Babylon loving, haters who go around the world killing innocent people and invading countries that we know nothing about. (obviously that was a generalisation as I know that there are many richous men/women in these isles but I mainly meant the army/government/large section of the public)
So for me the answer is simple i'm out of the army for good in 3 months and InI can start my new life with my Queen, my little baby and my beautiful dogs far away from brutality, but I wont forget what I have seen and what I know and in any small way I can I will try to do something positive for the world.
War is so brutal but remember that peace will not sort out the problems in these countries although it will be a brilliant start, old wounds run deep and the answer is far more complicated. I only have 1 person to thank for showing I the richous path.
One love Peace and Prasies to the most high Jah Rastafari
