I feel like the majority Of western society has become to sheltered for the brutal reality of human nature/psychology in warfare and what it means to your sovereignty.

I’ve watched a lot on the internet,street interviews, media in Germany covering the reintroduction of conscription. Veterans and civilians people in the uk on LADbible debate conscription. So many people in them say they would never fight even during an invasion or that it would never happen,or people are worried about the gender demographic some saying it’s fair some saying it’s not.

American and western society lives in such a fabricated reality when we get to debate and complain about it . We haven’t had a real world view shattering event since 9/11 which wasn’t long ago but that was also the fight the of global war on terror it’s not like this generation of wars there real army versus army

Countries in the east like Ukraine,Russia,India,Pakistan,Cambodia,Thailand, Israel&Palestine, countless other countries through the Sahel in Africa having coups,conventional scale skirmishes and conflicts,civil wars most of these people didn’t get a say it happens and you either run or stay and fight. Even America in the war with Iran it’s not here. The global has the most active combat environment since ww2 when it comes to the total number of conflicts occurring.

We as Americans have lost our way and appreciation for why we have the stability we do regardless of what administration is in power at any given time. The only reason we have the sovereignty we have is it’s been backed by military might. And I’m sure if the day came there would be a lot of people willing to step up to the plate.

But seeing so many people who call a country home and gave them the stability and economic opportunity that people drop decades of there lives and relationships for too run to say they wouldn’t fight. War is a nightmare, it’s not a romance even those labeled the brave and courages are the first to admit the sheer fear in that type of predicament and environment. The reality is left in a quote I phrase a lot violence believes not in virtue it believes in dominion.

You can look back into history,there were cutting edge societies leading the path when it came to evolutionary progression morally in society and technology but they weren’t militarized and eventually fell to people practicing one of the most native instincts in human nature extremely aggressive barbaric mass scale violence. I think people forget we were animals once running off of pure instinct we were blessed with biological evolution and critical thinking/self consciousness to see right and wrong. But It’s never changed,humanity is reaching a time again the past few years like many in the past since the dawn of us. The skin gets peeled back and the skeleton in the closet reminding us of what we are and come from shows.

Obviously where people’s ideologies sit dictate your perception or world view of the place you call home or if it’s right or wrong. This isn’t a love letter to war it’s a love letter to reality. People who are young in my generation I’m 22 and those who are turning 18 are navigating a repolarizing era geopolitical power moves and leaps in scale that haven’t been made in multiple generations. It’s scary I’m pretty scared of what the world might come to. but at the end of it this is home I don’t have a second option,a family else where. I hope people in the west can realize even if you don’t like your country on the federal level, the community level that’s what you’ll be fighting for what you get to come home to and see with your eyes everyday you decide to walk in and out the door. countries are always gonna hate each other for justifiable reasons or not. If someone else makes the first move your virtue won’t save you from the reality that bears the decision someone else makes for you.
