December 3, 1979

Monday; I"m 16.

Back to my struggle.  Is there such a thing as a just war?  I don't  know.  It may be honorable to die defending your country, but look what it cost you.  You are honorably dead.  Perhaps I am being selfish in wanting to preserve my life.  But is not every single human life precious?  I do not think that it is being too selfish to want to live.  I value my life, and I can do a lot more good alive than dead.  And how can being destructive help others?  I know now for a fact that if the US was ever the attacker in a war, I would not fight.  Resorting to barbarism to solve problems is uncivilized.
