From washingtonpost.com:
Staff Sgt. Camilo Mejia said he was particularly upset over an incident in which he and others were ambushed and innocent civilians were hit in the ensuing gunfire.
"That's one of the things that tells me there's no such thing as a fair war, no such thing as a just war," he said.
Nobody wants to go to war, yet the collective strength of our individual actions, suspicions, pride, agenda and distrust often results in combat bloodshed situations on a national scale. When diplomats and political critics alike start pointing fingers, there really isn't an answer since we can never pinpoint exactly the spark which has caused such a rift. Because, in actual fact, we are all accomplices to a crime no one wants to claim responsibility for.
Likewise, our individual expectations and standards of how white collar workers should dress in the corporate environment have culminated in the modernday self-masochism of pointy pretty heels, ties, starch stiff shirts and business suits - formal attire that everyone curses upon and dreads to wear, and then blames the conforming corporate culture on.
