is the world on the brink of WW3?

With the forthcoming of the recent events with release of several confidential documents about the U.S and its recent actions in foreign countries. I believe that government secrets should be kept under lock and key, I despise these people who simply say they are trying to create a better government for the global society. I believe the information may, depending on the topic of the document may be harmful to both a countries national security, and the safety of its armed men and women along with undercover agents. On several occasions. In all decency there are secrets that must be kept to prevent global turmoil and panic. In a speech given be the former U.S president Clinton. He stated "there are secrets I know that if revealed would leave the Earth in state of panic and turmoil.”  To me his speech tells me that there are some things that should remain secret in order to as Clinton said to protect the public and the keep order on the planet. Take into account this scenario, for example” we the United States of America are in the process of developing a new super weapon that would pale in comparison to the destructive power of  nuclear/hydrogen ICBM’s possessed  by china, Russia and several other countries. If the secretive development of the project were compromised before completion, these countries may threaten war if development continues. Keep in mind this would increase tensions between nations and even enrage the public for example the United States Star Wars space project. Which was a program meant to place orbital platforms in space armed with nuclear missiles for retaliation if the Soviet Union were to launch a preemptive strike. Where citizens across the globe rose up in rallies and demonstrations to force the United States to cease the development of the space project. To what end the people around the globe would succeeded in ceasing the development of project Star Wars.

 In order to provide a more recent and a more immediate example of what could happen to the many undercover agents and armed men and women.  Occurred few years ago where someone had released the information and actions of several undercover United States agents who were operating in several countries. Upon the release of the information, several of the agents have mysteriously disappeared and have not been confirmed as being captured or killed in action. This in mind the release of even more sensitive data could be released by this site called wikileaks the information they posses could threaten world peace as we know it. Even enraging countries with thoughts that another country might be performing espionage in their nation. In turn these countries may decide war upon the other country in retaliation for the other countries efforts.  

      Although the information that the site has already released is minor compared to the more important documents revealing the incidents the country has committed. It is a great risk to assume that they may not be in possession of top secret documents that could compromise global security.

U.S and Germany

I predict the United states tone was one of anger and seriousness, but it is also what I believe the spark the U.S government was looking for to get into a war with Germany, especially after they discovered a German transmission to Mexico to urge a western war.

for the Germans their response to the sinking of the Lusitania and U.S declaration of war was as follows American peace was a deception, fore all aboard those  vessels were warned of the the danger of  unrestricted submarine warfare occurring  in their path of travel. even the government was warned about the war taking place in Atlantic ocean.

Torture is Torture

in a time of war the government should be able to do what ever is necessary   to protect the lives of  both U.S soldiers and U.S citizens. inevitable by the laws of the Geneva convention these insurgents should be respected as pow. in  essence they should not be mistreated, unfortunately when the information is of high value that may save the lives of the soldiers and other civilians.  I believe that they must do whatever is necessary to acquire the information in order to preserve the life of our men and civi's. unfortunately the global community would frown upon the interrogation methods like water boarding for example. some of the long term affects is, in doing so it would create something for the people of the country(where ever they may be)to rally behind and thus we would create a stronger more determined enemy. take into account the attack on Pearl Harbor, where after after the battle soldiers would rally behind the war cry of "Remember December the 7th!!"  Which creates motivation and a will to avenge the fallen. the same applies to an effect of improper interrogation,  that once the people catch wind of the interrogation they may in turn rise against us.

War games

Like many Others in this country and across the world  play war games like call of duty, battlefield etc.. Lately there has been some interesting debate in laws restricting the sale of violent video games.  Now even with the rating system based on content it seems to still be insufficient  

Like many of the others I too play Call of duty, Battlefield etc... and do enjoy them but never take them seriously like some may do. While some say such games shouldn’t exist at all due to violence and such, I believe that they should exist because if they were suddenly banned then there would be a violation of rights. In other words I support their continued existence and I also favor enforcing the prevention of sales of such violent games to minors. This would help prevent them from acquiring the game as easily as they do today.  Several years ago and still today they HAVE to check for photo ID, Sadly this is heavily unenforced and instead9 focus the problem of controlling torrents and protecting the company’s profit   . Take for example what happened I believe several years ago when a store teller allowed a minor to purchase about 2 M Rated games without checking for ID and was subsequently arrested for the crime. Now few care about and think of it as a minor thing and simply unimportant. Sadly it is usually irresponsible parents that purchase such games for them that MAY care little for their state of mind, and advancement. A superb example of this is person I used to know well

He used to play games like metal gear solid, before he was even 10.  Now several years later I noticed his subliminal l imitations and even in speech he would sometimes go back to the game.

 However in Real warfare the games do not even pale in comparison to the battlefield for like the media the games to are watered down or even exaggerated in varying content.  Because in real war you only have one life to give and lose for your country, in comparison in the game you have as many lives as you need and never run out. In the games you feel no fear of death or loss in reality you may lose only a fictional number that in reality is unimportant for your survival by nature we are a violent people constantly bickering with each other unfortunately the same cannot be said for the soldiers of the battlefield where they face life and death every day from enemies that cannot be distinguished from civilians. These brave and honorable men and women sacrifice everything they own, including their lives, once they are gone they are gone there is no restart, no extra lives other than the one and only one  you and I have. There was an old quote made by a soldier who fought in world war and invaded the beaches of Normandy, it was “you couldn’t think about getting killed it’s either you got them or they got you.” This tells me and everyone else that there was No in-between, No other choice. Sadly these games do little to deter war and the violence it leaves in its wake, because like for thousands of years the human race has continued to develop better and more effective ways of killing each other.

War never changes

During the 1st world war a majority of casualties  were caused be the many advancements in technology, like as shown in the video machine gun's and the appearance of other automatic or semi-automatic weapons. However at the time one of the most feared weapons of the war were the use gas and flame weapons which were highly effective at killing the soldiers. Unfortunately these pale in comparison from losses from their own trench, for many  of the trench's of the war were "contaminated" and filthy which claimed a majority of wounded soldiers, and even among healthy men disease would spread. since many of the men would actually live in the trenches and watch the rats that would run through the trench's and have been rumored to have eaten "the dead of dieing soldiers  At the same time the was actually a form of disease and a plague very similar to flu and is related to our generation's swine flu.

Ace combat

During air combat the pilots would have to rely on the maneuverability of their aircraft and strength of the of its production. When being an air combat pilot of world war 1, I thought that these men must have  a strategy to overtake his opponent using his  planes  advantages and even its own disadvantage. Sadly though they knew little in the way of strategy with exceptions of the red baron, and the Lafitte espadrille(French ace squadron). for the average pilot their thoughts i believe would be ones of survival doing what every he can to win (which is sometimes what killed them) on the other hand I think they were afraid of the enemy squadrons and the AA-gun's and were constantly watching for the signs of those to foe's. Even the fear of death would loom in their head's, Ex. while your plane is taking fire the average pilot would begin wonder how much more could it take and wondering if the fire would at least kill him instantly.
