Astronouts is an easy job obviously.
You float around and do nothing really.

I feel that if I had the drive to do it, I could. I mean I have the basic physical requirements, as well as the mental ones. It's the desire to commit to more than a decade of training, when I'm already 26, just to take a shot at it that I don't have.

Bent double, like old beggars under sacks,
Knock-kneed, coughing like hags, we cursed through sludge,
Till on the haunting flares we turned our backs
And towards our distant rest began to trudge.
Men marched asleep. Many had lost their boots
But limped on, blood-shod. All went lame; all blind;
Drunk with fatigue; deaf even to the hoots
Of tired, outstripped Five-Nines that dropped behind.
Gas! Gas! Quick, boys! – An ecstasy of fumbling,
Fitting the clumsy helmets just in time;
But someone still was yelling out and stumbling,
And flound'ring like a man in fire or lime . . .
Dim, through the misty panes and thick green light,
As under a green sea, I saw him drowning.
In all my dreams, before my helpless sight,
He plunges at me, guttering, choking, drowning.
If in some smothering dreams you too could pace
Behind the wagon that we flung him in,
And watch the white eyes writhing in his face,
His hanging face, like a devil's sick of sin;
If you could hear, at every jolt, the blood
Come gargling from the froth-corrupted lungs,
Obscene as cancer, bitter as the cud
Of vile, incurable sores on innocent tongues,
My friend, you would not tell with such high zest
To children ardent for some desperate glory,
The old Lie; Dulce et Decorum est
Pro patria mori

What was Voltaire's opinion on war? I always just thought he was anti-religion.

Amazing. Not war related, but I also love Aubade by Phillip Larkin.

[Anonymous No.2755017]

If someones stupid enough to think going to war is a good idea, fuck em, who cares if they have it bad. Shouldn't be there in the first place.

Your facebook friends seem to be quite literate. It's just opinions man. I hold the opinion that soldiers are suicidal narcissists but I'm not going around telling them they're useless piece of shit. Chill out.
Those people do not consider geopolitics or human progress on a larger scale. Only personal values like hardwork and courage. I guess.

Voltaire's View of War
In Candide or Optimism, Voltaire demonstrates a somewhat unique conception of war for his time, and manages to do so with something of a regard for humor. Throughout the book, Voltaire points to the oddities of war from all angles. He exposes the worthlessness of concepts such as honor and glory on the battlefield itself, he indicates that the causes of war are never sufficient, and that the leaders themselves are nothing without their armies or their empires. Voltaire is clearly of the opinion that war is a useless effort, but he does not give any indication as to what the limits of his point may be. The politics in Candide or Optimism are very petty, and merely make for a beginning to his case, and do not test its limits.

fags listening to as i lay dying. stopped reading there

[Anonymous No.2755184]

Voltaire was a pretty good guy, and Candide was a good book. It's anti-conservative, anti-war and says that people shouldn't be fighting between beliefs since everyone rational are out after the truth.

[Anonymous No.2755659]

Who gives a shit if soldiers "have it bad"? They decided to sign up. Yes, it probably is a stressful job, but not complaining about anything just because other people willfully "have it worse" is just illogical.

[Anonymous No.2755708]

I thought navigating Apollo was pretty mentally and physically straining. Astronaut > soldier case closed. Unless you work in a hospital there is no reason to work a 16 hour shift.

[Anonymous No.2756013]

astronauts have a higher chance of dying than soldiers, or maybe not now that the shuttle is going away
they have a higher mental strength and more rewards though

Bound to learn the hard way
This is the human condition
There is nothing that can be said
To stop us from making mistakes
When I look to myself as a source of ending pain
No matter how many times before I've failed

i don't know whose more stupid, the person claiming their life is hard or the person trying to make an argument where there is no need for an argument. im glad mr sarcasm came in at the end to alleviate the stupidity.

It seems our problems solve themselves
When we look beyond us to those truly in hell

The more I focus on myself
Then the more helpless that I become
So why not erase this point of view?
My suffering is trivial
Compared to those who know real agony

By his logic only the person suffering the absolute most in the world has a right to complain.

You could trivialize the soldiers complaints by comparing them to the civilians. You could do the same by comparing said civilians to tortured individuals of other wars, and so on.
