I say war is human sacrifice simply because that is what it is. We train our young people that it is honorable to kill be or be killed. I trained some of these young people myself on how to be effective in killing other human beings. I remember training the soldiers under my supervision on how to be effective with the .50 caliber Browning machine gun. I remember being trained on how to be effective with the “ma deuce” as it is known. I remember being trained on how to be effective with the hand grenade, the M16, the bayonet, and a host of other weapons in the U.S. arsenal. I also recall going in search of other methods of killing that are not taught to most regular soldiers.

I was trained and trained well to sacrifice myself to war and I was also training others to make the same sacrifice.

But what is it all for? Money for the power elite? A chance to prove my manhood? No, in the end all you get if you kill someone is a dead human being, or you are dead. That is all there is. There is no glory. There is no honor.

The hardest thing I have done in my life is go to a memorial for a fallen soldier and to see his family grieving his death. I had to watch his wife break down, I had to watch his children break down and I realized that I did not want to see another family have to go through this.

This human sacrifice has to stop.

There is nothing I can add to this. Sgt Benderman said it all.
