Last century, in the two world wars, young people in western society were conscripted to fight for their country. That is, to fight for the right to be free from oppression. In many cases this meant trench warfare, including charging out of trenches in the heat of battle to likely take bullets. Fighting for freedom is perpetual. the better way to preserve freedom is to communicate with each other, preferably in more than 280 characters, the principles and norms we are jointly pursuing so that we can reach understandings. We actually all really want the same thing. Peace, security and well being.
