I'll be honest, my life experiences have left me emotionless. USMC infantry with tours in the middle east. Alcoholic, bipolar Vietnam vet father, the list goes on. My issue is that I cant connect on an emotional level with people. I have no issue whatsoever forming bonds with animals and to be honest prefer there company. Am I crazy?

People are conniving, they say things they don't mean, they're selfish, self serving creatures with no regard for anything other than personal gain. They're volatile, untrustworthy, judgmental, destructive and vile.
Animals don't judge, they don't talk aimlessly about unimportant drivel. Everything they do, every move they make, has a purpose. They are easy to read because they do not operate on a level of deceit. They are trustworthy, they are my equals. I love animals more than I love people. I have Asperger's and have always been the "animal kid", making friends with wild and domestic animals. I don't make excuses; I value many animals' lives over human lives. I would save the life of my dog before I saved the life of a stranger. This is how I think, this is what I believe, and I have life experience that has provided this belief system for me. Human life is not fixed at a superior value; we are no greater than any other species in my opinion.
So why are you lying?
"I roast in the hot sun, freeze at night, get shot at every day, and keep watching my friends get blown to pieces around me. What am I going through all of this hell for? Nothing, we are fighting a war for nothing, accomplishing nothing but death, and I have no choice in the fucking matter" - PFC Jarad Richardson
These soldiers have no choice, they follow orders, or face punishment.
YOU CAN JUST NOT GO...WHO IS STOPPING YOU AND HOW?
I don't support the war anymore than you do, I think we are wasting our time there and causing MUCH more harm than good. Hell I even question the motivation behind the war! However I recognize that it is the decision makers that are to be blamed. Not the poor saps that are being forced to give their lives for a war that they don't even want to fight.
We are in agreement that somebody should be held accountable for this stupid ass war, the only disagreement I have is who it is that should be blamed.
Wtf are you talking about, a person can refuse to fight, not pick up a gun. What are they going to do? Duct tape it to your hands? Tie you up and put you on a plane over there?
