Above is a link to a thirteen minute long youtube video I found revealing real footage capturing the civil war in Syria. Not necessarily the combat but it shows the tanks, and soldiers and the towns its going on in. I guess since I’ve never experienced a war being fought on my homeland, I never realized that it DOES actually go on somewhere. And that place can easily be towns, much like manorville. Kids see it, and die and it changes everyone's lives. Towns, houses, lives, people...they’re all being ruined by this civil war. Its disgusting to think that innocent lives are being taken. Something needs to be done humanitarianly. I cant help but think about teenagers my age constantly worried about what comes next, if they live to see a next...living in fear. I can actually say my heart hurts for them. I pray I don’t ever see the day that combat enters America. Seeing things like 9/11 is bad enough, but if combat was to break out in my “free” nation, I think I would actually consider suicide. I hate seeing people suffer and if I were to witness it around me I think I’d go crazy.
What scares me is foreign groups are a threat to America. But how much can we really do without putting ourselves in a position that won’t potentially hurt us. The slightest move CAN bring foreign groups (like ISIS and Al Qaeda) into America for an attack. Which yes, can lead to combat. But should we sit here on the sidelines and watch? What can we do? We are supposed to be a free country, thats why I’m mind boggled by the fact that we have so many allies and so many enemies. Wouldn’t you think a so called free nation would stay neutral? For obvious reasons.
