How To Perform The Jock Lock

Via Fallen

There is a road passing through Reggio Emilia is called "Via Fallen in Nasiriyah."
I was surprised that his written straight out of a roundabout. A wound so recent and already have the fear that it might be forgotten.
imprints, monuments, museums are made to remember, even when the facts do not we have seen with our eyes, when we have not experienced firsthand, but we were told later on TV. So, those who died in Nasiriyah we knew the first thing that fell, and immediately became heroes because they fought for freedom and democracy of others, a noble gesture, really. They have become heroes (that label that gives journalism and love to the audience) before they knew anything of their lives. Then, to bring out the patriotism in all of us have begun to tell their stories, all moving and exemplary. Yes, it is always the best that they leave. And others who do?
Sometimes it happens that those who are too go to war, which instead of being killed murder, and to be remembered that movie. Maybe I'm too proud of those pictures, you have done that "bastard", that hurt, wriggled like a frightened puppy. How sweet, eh?
But the end, after almost an act of generosity. It 's so that should the war, even when they call a peace mission, it's my turn today, you tomorrow. Do not look at anybody and you do what you were left at home or at the most all'areoporto company to make a mother in tears. So she will forgive you.
If you die a hero for everyone, if you kill are the rules of the game, if you are a wounded pride. It tells the version of events that will give more glory to hide yourself that that pride is nothing but the transfiguration of cowardice.
Unless there are pictures of a half. Unless a movie can not remember all the brutality and cruelty of war that we are offered continuously through the filter flu, and you're not actually better than the others. Then there is hard to convince people that has a heart.
In the end, you saved my life, that you better another, but this time, and maybe you know it, you're not a hero.
