We should all, as human beings, be "anti-war." What is war but the widespread, systematic destruction of human bodies by machinery? Who could be for that?

I work in construction in a pretty rural area and am therefore around a lot of patriot/war supporter types- not ones that are educated on the subject, but rather ones who just kind of blindly follow whoever has clothing most closely representing the American flag. Anyways, I've tried to make this argument to every one of them when confronted about my anti war beliefs; to which their only response is to laugh and call me soft or whatever.

It doesn't bother me, at all. But it's just pathetic to see how blind people are to this general human philosophy of just not murdering others for the sake of others.

No disrespect to veterans. Well written response Adam
