The Excitement Of War

[cpvr]

Does anyone here else get excited about a new war boiling up? Like I was excited when the Untied States declared war on Iraq, but now I could careless about the whole thing.

I don't think anyone is excited to go to war, especially the soldiers who are being sent off to fight.

I think this is our destiny to be prepared and thrilled about the war at any stage after our 16th year of life
And adrenalin is so builiding up for me when I get my rifle on military excersises. Well maybe some not but overall I think all men do like war and stuff...

Unfortunately, humans do often get excited about warfare, particularly in the early stages. World War I and the Iraqi invasion in 2003 are good examples. Once reality sets in, then the population steps back on a "maybe this wasn't such a good idea" footing. It's just a typical human reaction when something big is about to happen. I don't think it reflects too badly on our nature, especially since most of the time we have the sense to recognize that war is mostly, but not always, a pathetic adventure.

yes I remember "Shock and Awe" everyone was excited about being able to witness warfare live on TV for the first time. I remember watching fox news and it'd be like oh theres another bomb being dropped in the background.

People do get excited about war, and thats not a good thing. We get excited about going in there and doing to right thing. We get excited about the possibility of triumph and glory.
