Sending our youth to war is wrong.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
We often fight wars with our young.
We must permit the youth of the land who would bear arms to decide whether or not there should be war.
Something's very wrong with a nation that would rather spend money on war than take care of its children.
I want young people to be hesitant to glorify war and to demand of their leaders justification for the sacrifices they ask of our citizens.
War is wrong. Conscription for war is inconsistent with freedom of conscience, which is not merely the right to believe but to act on the degree of truth that one receives, to follow a vocation which is God-inspired and God-directed.
When we think of war, the tendency is to picture young soldiers only in their military roles. To a large extent this dehumanizes the soldiers and makes it easier for society to commit them to combat.
It's one thing to say you're for the war; it's another thing to send your kid to war - your daughter or your son.
Like its politicians and its war, society has the teenagers it deserves.
Make no mistake, adolescence is a war. No one gets out unscathed.
Older men declare war. But it is the youth that must fight and die.
