Participating a war means participating murder, torture and rape. If that's what it takes to be a man, I'll pass.

- thrownaway122 12y agoMurder yes that's sort of the point. Torture and rape are not required.
- jusssi 12y agoIs there a documented case of a war that didn't result in any torture and rape?
- thrownaway122 12y agoI doubt it. However, a man (or woman) could go to war to defend their country against an aggressor and do so effectively without torturing or raping anyone. However, they pretty much have to be prepared to kill people... Indeed many modern armies will investigate and eventually punish rapists and torturers whilst they giving medals for doing lots of killing... So 'murder' (or killing people) is a necessary condition for fighting a war. Rape and torture are neither necessary nor sufficient.
- jusssi 12y agoPoint accepted, I forgot to consider defending against outside invaders.
- rimantas 12y agoI sometimes entertain myself with the thought, that respect for military and disdain for prostitution should be reversed: the job where you are trained to kill effectively is glorified, the job where you give love (physical at least) is frowned upon.
