The Drug of War
4/27/6 Written by a fellow scout in the Shadow Recon Platoon of 2-63AR BN
http://ftssoldier.blogspot.com
...If one constantly exposes themselves to extreme situations, then all sensations there after of equal or lesser intensity offer no stimulation. A heroin addict must constantly increase the dose because the mind has grown tolerant to a lower dosage. A cocaine addict must snort more and more to obtain the same rush of endorphins that was felt the first time. This constant increase to obtain a desired effect is met with graduation to a more intense medium or fatality. However, a higher dosage or different medium does not always exist to take the addict to the next level, and even if he were to continue to utilize his current choices, the supply is not always infinite. When the supply diminishes, one is left numb to all sensation, and hence follows an increasingly desperate situation. For the soldier; war is his drug. His mind grows an addiction to its ravenous stimuli from abnormally stressful situations. His time within this medium is finite, and when it comes to an end, he will find it hard to deal with his unwanted addiction. This is the tragedy of all those who have fallen to the drug of war, myself included. Life becomes dull and frustrating. Normal situations make one feel a sense of anxiety, of desperation, as if constantly hoping for a sudden horrible rage to sweep across and take normal right down to hell, where things are violent, and gruesome, and stimulating, and the adrenaline flows. Where veins bulge and the mind sweats, and purpose is abundantly clear, to fight, to win, to love the drug of war. But it is no more. I feel the phantom left behind by this drug milling around in my mind, and I hear its fateful whispers, begging me to take it back to where the drug flows endless. I beat this demon down everyday, and come to grips with my reality...

...Hydrogen is “okay” if you take it from water, but we don’t want nuclear plants that are going to take hydrogen out of there air for the simple reason that the bi-product for hydrogen automobiles is water. If you take your oxygen out of the air and convert it to water, you’ve taken away what you need to breathe; you deplete the oxygen you need to breathe. It’s different with carbon dioxide because when you put that out into the air, if you have a lot of green plants, it converts it back into oxygen. There’s no way to convert water back into oxygen, to breathe. Okay? So you don’t do these kinds of things. But that’s being proposed. That’s part of Bush’s energy plan. Build more nuclear power plants in order to take oxygen out of the air and run cars with it [hydrogen]. You know, it’s very frustrating to know some of these things and see these plans that are just not going to work. We’ve already lost some of the oxygen in our air. We need it. You know, you have to breathe. These things have to be thought through. It’s not helpful to say nuclear power doesn’t produce carbon dioxide, therefore it’s okay. This is stupid. You don’t take one end-point and find one thing good about a technology and then run with it. You look at the whole picture, cradle-to-grave: everything it produces, everything it takes, every resource it uses. So we don’t need these big transmission systems either. We could get enough energy to run our houses, individual units - our cars are generators, our automobiles are individual generators. We can do these things. There are many viable solutions...I would recommend...Transforming the Global Biosphere, and many other sources and internet sites...

Improvements to the process through research and development underway coupled with expanded production promise to reduce the cost of ethanol from cellulose to below 90 cents per gallon, according to a Natural Resources Defense Council report...
...biorefineries can also make green plastics and renewable chemicals from grain or other plant matter...a stable supply of less-expensive transportation fuel...
"...hurry a future where consumers pay less for transportation fuel...aggressive policies that move us beyond research to commercialization of advanced biorefineries in all regions of the country.”
