Dear Journal,
The death count rose considerable today. I am sick and tired of causing other’s physical and mental scars. They were innocence! They have no idea why we are here and I don’t know anymore either. These people we are shooting at have no real guns, no real means of defense, and are completely innocent. Never have I seen a war so pointless and such a waste of money as this. The only people who try to harm us are those who want us out of their country. People hate them for the small hand full of deaths they caused, but wouldn’t you do that same if a stranger took over your land, your home? The people we kill are no longer known as people only a number, another statistic for the history books. It’s like we are counting sheep in a field that has no use or greater point. There are no weapons of mass destruction here… only oil which in itself will cause our own destruction and everyone else’s. I don’t want to kill or harm anyone for the oil they have here. I want to be back home curled up in my bed with a nice fictional book. I want to have my eyes closed to the horrors of war. But then I would be ignorant to this feeling of great hatred for war. Once I go back home I’m never coming back to kill or harm. I will do everything in my power to protest against this dreadful war. I will do everything I can to try to push people into understanding the need to find a better fuel source and why a war like this should never be fought. There is no weapon that will cause our ultimate harm, only the black gold everyone needs to function in this century. I feel like I have lost something since I’ve come over here. But I have also gained something else, understanding maybe? What I have lost however weighs heavily on my heart. I have lost the innocence of one who hasn’t killed or seen death to the degree I have. I have killed another being and for no greater purpose. They never shot at me, only stepped across my path at the wrong time. There are scars deep in my heart for every man woman and child not only I have harmed, but that everyone has harmed for no reason. I have a feeling I am the only person who hates the senseless killing. Everyone else around me gets a kick out of taking someone’s life away, numbering the amount of breathes they have down to 1 then 0. This war is not needed. The scars it has gave me may be invisible but they hurt and ache like any real scar that is on the outside. I want to go home see the person I’m married to and the kids that I love. I am not over here to protect their well being only to supply them with a liquid that runs the car and so many other things. I hate it, but why does everyone else seem to love it?
