I always think about it and i cant wait to enlist in the military. I hate the idea of peace and I think life is boring with peace. I always think about invading countrys and killing for my country.
OK, go for it! But I bet you dollars to donuts that you'll change your mind damn quickly when someone is trying to kill you for their country.
Killing may be attractive to you now, but the horrors of war are with you for a lifetime, not easily forgotten.
I could give you a year's examples from Vietnam, but I wouldn't want to bore you.
Though killing children for your country (or to save your own life) is not heroic or something most human beings would do willingly, it can be unavoidable in war. Is that something you really want to live with for your whole life?
Im joining the Royal Marine Commandos soon:) british army and cant wait to go to afghan..
I think it's normal, I don't think it's right. What is strange is you're very honest about your motivations - I've witnessed people plead 'civilizing other cultures' when they feel this way.
If you do do these things you'll have to live with them and it's not easy. You will lose a lot of what matters inside. But as you're such an honest person why not choose a career where you can deal with people who feel this way?
