prism - A medium that misrepresents whatever is seen through it.
Greetings,
Here you will find the rantings of caffeinated scholar in training. Welcome to my perspective!
This video is from ABC from 2005. I think that everyone should be scared by the statement that the solider makes and the end of this video.
solider: ...you don't want to think about the stuff you're going to have to do if someone, pops around a corner.
interviewer: You mean shoot an American?
solider: Yeah

What does all of this do to the best minds among the students? Most of them endure their college years with the teeth-clenched determination of serving out a jail sentence. The psychological scars they acquire in the process are incalculable. But they struggle as best they can to preserve their capacity to think, sensing dimly that the essence of the torture is an assault on their mind. And what they feel toward their school ranges from mistrust to resentment to contempt to hatred – intertwined with a sense of exhaustion and excruciating boredom.
