I agree there do appear to be powerful hidden forces at play, and the sense of forboding is pretty inescapable.
My (admittedly limited) understanding of the armed forces includes the knowledge that many are serving, and dying, in defence of the good values they believe in, not merely the joy of destruction. My experience in life has been that good and bad individuals can be found in all groups and we should concern ourselves with our own contributions.
I find that in my heart I believe in the ultimate victory of good over evil, and I think that even if that turned out to be wrong, I wouldn't regret having taken that position.
Who knows eh, even great zen masters couldn't be sure if they were butterflies dreaming they were men, or men dreaming they were butterflies.
I wish you love x
