 If you think telling someone what their 9-year-old self felt during a war is invalid because her government invaded another, you've got bigger problems.

When are you going to learn that citizens are not responsible for the atrocities their governments commit? We are all pawns.

What you need to understand here is that terrorizing people with bombs and arms under the name of "freedom" is not the way to go.

Separation of money and state IS the way to go. No matter what we do, if we don't shut down the money printers, wars will continue to happen. They are an extremely profitable business.

I don’t know what horrible things have happened to you that you feel it's okay to attack a person online who is telling the story she experienced when she was a child. But you should really check yourself, get a hug. Right now, you are being no better than the ones you claim to hate. 
 way too comfortable to wage wars, commit genocides etc and then blame it on "government", would not you way? But this is certainly not related to OP because of the age at the time. 
 Wars occur due to a corrupt system… we are bitcoiners, the way this works shouldn’t be that hard to understand 
 wars occur because we are a pretty violent species, Bitcoin won't solve that unfortunately. 

Other than that, whom does military force cosist of? Who provides logistic, arm production and overall war economy? Is it some abstract government or a population of a country at war? 
 🤦🏽‍♀️ pointless 
 I'm assuming we missed something and @thunder  was actually a hugely charismatic child soldier who seized control of the Serbian government in a violent coup and lead vast hordes against the known world... Like a little girly Genghis Khan. 
 What happenes to me is that I get to live in a country full of invalids due to the actions of the  Serbian government. Instead of blaming NATO for helping to end the fucking war her country started, maybe we should be blaming Milosevic, but you will never hear Serbs admit their part of the blame. 
 Extremely painful and sad, not your fault and not the fault of a 9-year-old… living with so much hate inside of us can only hurt ourselves
