The thoughts and views expressed by Sam Hammil in the reading provided seem quite valid to me. Our society today does have a kind of self-defeating aspect to it. I will say that it was a bit over board to essentially call all members of the armed forces murderers. A lot of those people over there have little other options than to do what they do. I’ll stop on that subject before I go off on a soap box.
Hammil’s ideas certainly are impassioned. He does bring up valid points too. Killing a murderer solves nothing, and the prison structure now-a-days is so corrupt on so many levels its terrifying. It’s sad that so many people, in so many terrible situations, do keep silent and continue to suffer. What we have to avoid is a mentality of “That’s just life”. It’s easy to say you will take a stand. It’s only when it is time to rise up that the enormity of that small task hits you.
