war sucks balls. such a stupid waste of lives and resources. people are hungry all over the world, but governments would rather spend money to kill people than to save people. Its always some douche that starts a conflict and the opponents have no choice but to fight back. We vote leaders into government, they cause shit and we have to back them up with our blood. Seems like a shitty deal to me.

This documentary puts American documentaries to shame.

@108Dax

My friend, Humanity is a species or war. We kill to save, we fight to protect, and our soldiers die to make sure we can have this chat. You think it's easy to stand on the side lines when your friends and allies are dying in a conflict some douche started. If your best friend was the leader of Russia and they went to war with China, don't tell em that you would just stand by, and watch what happens when your friends life is threaten.

We are all soldiers, war can not be stopped.

@108Dax we cannot change what happened,yet we can change the future..rest in peace all who died there...

@toqtaqiya Yeah, got to hate the tacky reinactments and instant replays that come with your average American documentries.

@WolfytheWolf5667 war is needed indeed. do not think the well living the US have has been gained with self devotion and skill. america robbed the hell out of any other country to achieve its results, as much as any kind of plague did in the past.

[Viljarism]

@WolfytheWolf5667 You actually give the counterargument to what you are saying: The Cold War wasn't a war, it was an arms race. The technological advances made during the Cold War were not made because of war, but because of the THREAT of war. These are two different things.

I would have been interesting to know the source of this documentary.
