One of the greatest disservices a parent can do for a child is to raise them militaristically. to where by, the child is robbed of it’s God given imagination, which is mankind’s soul, leaving in it’s place a robot capable only of doing another human's will.

Ours not to reason why
Ours but to do and die

ReplyDeleteYes it is a phrase like that which seems to be programmed into our unique sense of nationalism. After all, America - through the wisdom of its founders - is mandated to be a nation of civilians led by civilians. But our system, as with every system of governance, is vulnerable also to the will of the corrupt. In such a milieu, even a civilian leader - particularly one not elected to office, nor especially bright or demonstrably honest - can be a willing or wholly unwitting traitor to our constitutional republic and the foundations of human dignity upon which it was crafted. Given the unimaginable power at his disposal, such a leader can become an equally unwitting tyrant. All that is required for a system of government - any system of government - to fail, is that both leader and led share a mutual ignorance or bias.
We certainly have seen that with Bush's head long incursion into Iraq which illustrates the Evil inherant in an ill reasoned approach to war.
