"War is not glorious or bravery."
Definitively not, it is horror
"Any idiot can pick up a gun and go shoot at something."
but most idiots run away when they realise what war is.
"I don't know about you, but I admire such people more than these empty talks of bravery and courage by killing people or be kill yourself."
I am sad to read this Luutzu, even if not born here, I would fight for the right to live in Australia and protect my family /home here, and yes die for it.
If you can not understand this, you are just a floating self, ready to move on and parasite any place where the grass will be greener. So what if the taxes increases, the RE is too high or low, you move to NZ, US or wherever?
Your family can not be safe if you flee, the Jews leant it in a terrible way in WWII,
it seems the lessons have not been learnt by many when facing the new plague
if you are Syrian and flee, what about uyour uncle, your grandmother, the old aunt?And what about the land, you do not have any attachment to your land?
You do not give a **** because you, and MAYBE your wife and kids are OK?
When a war is over and you have lost, then it is useless to go to slaughter for the sake of it, but right now, the future of Syria/Irak are in the hands of its people (yea yea we can talk about bad evil US etc)
but overall : the choice is theirs and sorry to offend you there, but this is treason to run when you have the choice to fight for the right (in your eyes) cause.
IS would not be where it is now with a bit more spine from the local inhabitants.
Anyway, happy not to have to fight by your side (and happy not to have to fight at all indeed)
Tell you what. When the barbarians are literally at the gates, I'll stand and fight.
Until that happen, all the Masters of War in Canberra and elsewhere can go themselves, or can send their own kids if they like, and fly overseas to fight for freedom and liberty and all that bull.
I'm not going to die, or raise my kids so they'd go and kill or get kill, just so some idiot with a Napoleonic complex decided some other kids half the world away is a "thread" to civilisation and world peace and should be blown to pieces. Then if my kids, and my neighbours kids die, those same idiots do their speeches and photo ops and look all sad and gloomy as they drove away under security details to a light lunch.
Maybe that's cowardly and I'm just a parasite. But ey, if people want to start a war, go fight it themselves. Don't send my kids to fight for their "courage" and freedom-loving talks.

The Jewish people who stayed, or forced to return to Nazi Germany because other people in other countries don't care for Jews thought the Jews ought to return and fight the Nazi... well we all know what happen to most of those Jews don't we?
The Muslims, I would argue, are the Jews of today. Some who love Jewish people and cry over their murder now think nothing of sending another wave of refugees back to where they came from.
And a reality check for you. Do you know what was done after the mass murder of those Jewish people in all those concentration camps?
Their death were used by other religious nuts to justify the same murder and killings - but being done more slowly (because it'd be too messed up to do it in the same way as the Nazi did); and being done to another group of barbarians - the Palestinians.
Then on the death of those Jewish people, a handful of other Jewish people go to the Swiss banks and demand payment and compensation for stolen money that were in the accounts of those now dead Jewish people.
Yes, apparently people can all afford Swiss accounts and have billions in it, but they couldn't afford a ticket out of Nazi Germany.
Then guess what happen to those billions of dollars the Swiss banks cough up? Maybe 1% goes to the survivors, the rest goes to who the heck knows.
So yea, if people want to stand on others corpses to look all high and mighty, they better send their own children and not mine.

Yea, Bush Jr. and Dick Cheney... were all safely at home while other Americans go to war. Then when they rule and can send other people's kids to war... yay... "bring it on"; "no WMD, opps" and a few billion ka-chings to them and their friends.
What did Abbott say when he heard of the death of an Australian soldier in Afganishtan? "Shiet happens doesn't it".
You want to die for these idiots' master plans, go right ahead.
