All my war stories involve discount sales and dodgy back rooms in third world countries. I’m a pacifist at heart – I’ve always thought fighting was a bit silly. In the same way I thought my religion teacher was silly for insisting Buddhists were all going to hell because they don’t believe in Jesus. I mean they’re Buddhists. C’mon. They should have seats reserved up there. I’m usually all about peace but since when did guns and soldiers become so adorable?
