Returning Jesus
Holden:
During the war there was a microscopic possibility that I called in a white-phosphorus barrage or a napalm air strike on the returning Jesus Christ. :)

Nation of One:
You know, when I think about this, I am tempted to suspect that I may have sabotaged my brain as a young adult as I had some kind of subconscious fear of my brain (as a so-called "natural resource") being used by the military. My grandfather had been called from the front lines to work on the Manhattan Project.
In fact, when I was placed in the county jail holding tank at age 19 for petty theft, I was visited by army recruiters who offered to have all charges dropped if I would enlist in the army. I just wanted to return to my cell and take a nap. Do you know what the army recruiters told me?
These were their exact words when they realized that I did not want anything to do with joining the military: "You're gonna get a bronze di-ck up your a-ss."
I've just never been patriotic, and I don't like parades except for the drums. I'm a sucker for the sound of drums.
:-\
Over the years, having talked to many different kinds of people, I was surprised to find out just how many men had joined the army from a jail cell.
Both Vonnegut and Salinger were soldiers. I think Vonnegut was what we call a conscientious objector, which means, he did not carry a firearm. He was captured by the German troops in World War II, and when they read his dogtags, they asked him, with a name like Vonnegut, why he was fighting against his cousins.
Have you ever read about how many Russian prisoners were offered release from prison sentences if they joined the army to fight the Germans? Well, they fought in the war, and if they were not killed, after the war, they were returned to captivity. Once back in the gulags, the prisoners who did not go for the "deal" called the ones that did "bit-ches".
While searching for some source to refresh my memory, I saw something about American and Russian soldiers raping many German women towards the end of World War II. ... macho fantasies ...
mad world

Hentrich,
I suppose **** is part of our human nature. In conflicts, specially, **** happened and happens. They are called also copulations by force. It happened in the War of the Triple Aliiance, in the invasion of Ethiopia by the Italians, thousands of Korean women were sexual slaves for the Japanese, in the Massacre of Nanking by the Japanese army, during the liberation of Poland and in Germany in 1945, the Korean War, in Bosnia, Rwanda, in the Congo or in Mexico, in this civil war between drug cartels and the government.
I would not like to have been a girl during the U.S. invasion of Iraq and with this Syrian Civil War. I read ISIS carried out mass rapes. Yesterday two motochorros (thief bikers) were arrested for robbing a pregnant women and as a result she lost her baby. Although techinically this is not ****, these two guys will be raped to death in Tacumbu (state prison). I remember once case in the 90s where a girl was found killed and raped by a company driver. Well this driver received the usual treatment in prison and later the doctors removed a shampoo from his ass.
When you have so many young males suffering extreme stress in army barracks or after combat, the need to release is too strong. I wonder if watching **** canbe called a passive ****.
Stay safe.
Holden:
The result of these macho fantasies are war babies-thousands and thousands of them..a quick survey of human history reveal only briefest period where someone has not been shooting or hacking away at other humans.
Periods of calm are reserved for planning the next conflict.

Holden,
Yes, I think those in power will always need fresh bodies for the conflicts. They need people reproducing to do the dirty work and fight while they sit comfortably and laugh. Being bred for consumption and exploitation. Full horror. But that is the gift of life. Coming to this planet, a death trap, a total lunacy.
