In art class, we're doing a project about Americans who have made a difference. And I remember this one guy, whose last name was Coffin, who said:
"The war against Iraq is as disastrous as it is unnecessary; perhaps in terms of its wisdom, purpose and motives, the worst war in American history…. Our military men and women…were not called to defend America but rather to attack Iraq. They were not called to die for, but rather to kill for, their country. What more unpatriotic thing could we have asked of our sons and daughters…?”
I know, right? Wars are pointless. Countries don't need to take over their neighbouring countries just to gain more land. Sometimes, I think it's stupid that people honour veterans. They joined the army. If no one joined the army, there'd be no wars.
16 years old. Western Australia. Agnostic. Ravenclaw. I love anything Harry Potter, Starkid, or Glee. I’m not perfect. I can be annoying at times and I sometimes make funny noises when I laugh. But, don't we all dream for a Taylor Swift-esque fairytale ending?

I'm just SICK of war too!
