More War
Nick D Twist, “Please sir, can I have some more war?”
I was running to a computer lab to type up my psychology notes and I passed by my college’s “multicultural lounge.” In the lounge there were some hip looking peers and a big screen setup as if a film was about to be shown. Upon further deep investigation (which means I glanced over to the wall adjacent to the room’s opening) I saw a poster of what was going on. Come to find out, they were going to show a film about the war in Iraq. The movie was supposed to give details to where our tax $$$ are going. I’m sure the war's effort was predicated on a fiscal conservative budget especially sense some of our brothers and sisters over in the desert don’t have body armor…spendings gotta get cut somewhere. Afterall, all my beliefs could just be hearsay so my interest was peaked. Unfortunately my studies pressed me and I knew I couldn’t stay and enjoy the flick. As my heart swelled with disappointment…a light bulb went off in my head and once again I was content. I realized….Hey no need to worry about missing this film. As long as this administration is in office I’m sure we’ll have a few more wars initiated in the name of Americans. So my war film appetite is sure to be sated at a later date. No worries…until the next war.
