I have to agree with gary on this one. I remember back in junior high talking about getting draft and how "cool" it would be to go to war. Now that i've lost my innocence and ingnorance since then i don't consider war a necessity. I find nothing funny about killing "ragheads" or mass militaristic conformity. I believe many people are living in a world where they are blinded by one thing or another. It could be religion or values they are brought up with. Growing up in a normal life where nothing was forced upon me gave me the ability to see 2 sides of a picture without being influenced by friends or such. How can anyone see killing humans as a necessity? How can anyone sign there life away to fight an unforseen war in the future? People like these either have nothing to live for or have strong patriotism.
What is Patriotism though? It has nothing to do with dying in what you believe in. Its dying for what the man in congress tells you what is right and wrong. You might not always agree with him, but you forced by contract to put your life on the line.

Rebel teens are needed so that all the world isn't conformed to lifeless drones. Teenage years are the times when we are most influencial and these teenage rebels are just people who just see out side the box. There is no need for their goth, emo, etc. clothing. The only thing they need to wear is their voice.
