Reality Is What You Know

This is my comment to an entry at A Tiny Revolution. For some reason I'm getting server timed out messages. So I post my comment here.

Two things come to mind.

1. How else can these children think? Violence and death are all they have ever known. In fact it's probably all their parents and grandparents have known.They live in a vicious world.

2. Who would not want to reject invaders of their country?

In the West we're comfortable. We can go to work or to the park with no thought of being killed. Not so in the Middle East where anyone could pose a threat. It's amazing people there have any sanity at all. And Its this constant threat of violence in a "normal" setting that causes our armed forces to lose their sanity.
