Pablo Gargano - Trance in Saigon (Eve 9)

you know why, they insert memorable lines in movies especially, violent ones, to desensitise you to it, if you had never ever seen death, or brutality or pain or suffering, and were suddenly faced with these things, you would be horrified, at the thought, of such acts being committed, and would rally together against these, vile perpetrators of such acts, so they show you it on t.v or the moves, so when you see it in the real world, you dont care, you have seen much worse on t.v, (except that isn't real a feeling of being disconnected), but the mind every-time it see's something, it takes it in, even at the unconscious level, like video games that reward killing, it encourages the mind to be less empathic, in the real world, it's a proven medical and psychological fact 100%, when you should care you should real back in horror, and here is a prime example of how they would put you in a"trance in Saigon", Saigon... shit; I'm still only in Saigon... Every time I think I'm gonna wake up back in the jungle. I've seen horrors... horrors that you've seen. But you have no right to call me a murderer. You have a right to kill me. You have a right to do that... but you have no right to judge me. It's impossible for words to describe what is necessary to those who do not know what horror means. Horror... Horror has a face... and you must make a friend of horror. Horror and moral terror are your friends. If they are not, then they are enemies to be feared. They are truly enemies! I remember when I was with Special Forces... seems a thousand centuries ago. We went into a camp to inoculate some children. We left the camp after we had inoculated the children for polio, and this old man came running after us and he was crying. He couldn't see. We went back there, and they had come and hacked off every inoculated arm. There they were in a pile. A pile of little arms. And I remember... I... I... I cried, I wept like some grandmother. I wanted to tear my teeth out; I didn't know what I wanted to do! And I want to remember it. I never want to forget it... I never want to forget. And then I realised... like I was shot... like I was shot with a diamond... a diamond bullet right through my forehead. And I thought, my God... the genius of that! The genius! The will to do that! Perfect, genuine, complete, crystalline, pure. And then I realised they were stronger than we, because they could stand that these were not monsters, these were men... trained cadres. These men who fought with their hearts, who had families, who had children, who were filled with love... but they had the strength... the strength... to do that. If I had ten divisions of those men, our troubles here would be over very quickly. You have to have men who are moral... and at the same time who are able to utilise their primordial instincts to kill without feeling... without passion... without judgement... without judgement! Because it's judgement that defeats us., but that isn't true, it is our judgement that free's us, from these archaic concepts and terrors such as war as, standardz, hahahahahaha, :) #edio
