OKAY GUYS but the question is real. HOW can you *not* romanticize war? I’m writing this post with World War II in Poland in mind. HOW can you not see those feelings? What is wrong with love in a dangerous times? I’d say more. IF THIS IS NOT time for love, then WHEN? There’s a lot beautiful feelings that can be explored at a time of war. Passion, patriotism, unimaginable devotion, unconditional love, ideals, honor. I’ve been raised on those ideals. I’ve been scout for a long time and let me tell you - songs I’ve sang and played were about love. About honor, about dying young. About devoting life for a motherland. About a young girls and boys that fight for what they were believing in, never knowing if they gonna live another day. For falling in love and trying to save the loved ones. For missing the old peaceful days but NOT GOING to stand aside but go and fight TO SEE THOSE days again.
World War II was brutal and terrible time. But that doesn’t mean that we shouldn’t be talking about it. That doesn’t mean that we shouldn’t be somewhat praising those times. When I was a young girl, I always felt so proud to be a Pole, you know? Hell, when I’m thinking about those heroes that weren’t much older than me, or were my age, and they just go to fight for the country... This was my whole childhood.
I’m so sorry but how can you say that romanticizing World War II or any other war is wrong. It HAVE TO be done VERY careful. But I think it’s a way to honor heroes that took a part in those wars.
For hell’s sake it’s not mindless fighting. There’s something those people were fighting for. DYING for. I have so many songs, so many poems and books, biography’s *almost every* war movie to proof me right. And I am so mad that anybody would ever say something like that. It’s almost like saying that those people were just a zombie that decided to join army, get a gun and kill the others. And let me tell you something - for sure that’s pretty much disgraceful to the people that deserve every and only a good words about themselves.
I don’t know about you, but in Poland World War II has one of the most romantic literature, hell it’s one of the most romantic cultural moment’s in my country history. I’m so mad and sad that anybody would think otherwise. Because if you aren’t fighting in the name of love, then in what name you’re fighting for and do you really think, that it is worth it?
