men die too

It's always been counted among casualties in wars and conflicts the "women and children". It's mentioned like a negation to the victorious killing of men. Typically, no one dares to question the horrors of killing women and children. And they shouldn't. On the other hand, they should question whether men dying is any less awful.

Why should women and children be exempt from dying in mankind's "neccesary" wars? Well, perhaps because women are necessary for the nurture of children, and keeping of a steady home which strengthens society. And perhaps children ought to get the chance to live out their time of wonder, exploration and personal development. But wait a second, don't men do all of those things as well? In fact, in many cases men are just as capable or moreso of providing a stable household and personally developing(which everyone does their entire lives, contrary to idiotic belief).

Male children get an even tougher break: They are guaranteed their childhood only with the possibility of dying as an adult man looming over their head. Once a male is "mature enough" to die in a war, he apparently has nothing else to offer the world but seeing how many people he can kill before he's taken out.

situation the first: a child is abducted in the congo, and conditioned and forced to fight for an army. He may die, and if he lives, he will have nightmares his entire life.

situation the second: an adult man is forced to serve mandatory military service in Israel. He may die, and if he lives, he will have nightmares his entire life.

Ask each child's father(note: not necessarily mother, fathers are capable of love as well) how they feel about their offspring's death. They will tell you the same thing, it was a horrible loss.

The most revolutionary thing an adult man of military age can do is keep himself alive.
