thunder over louisville-or ultimately why war is wrong

i am staying behind a huge daycare centre, in louisville kentucky

this morning, for the first time, i heard all the babies crying in unison, it is disturbing to see this. in the name of an airshow named "thunder over louisville". i am actually scared of thunder in general. this is too much. to see pilots practicing tactics in the name of entertainment.

and the reason why- USAF fighter jets doing low altitude manoeuvres, the types pilots train for in order to fly beneath the enenmy radar...at altitudes of 200 metres or less, a supersonic plane creates an extremely loud and powerful shockwave....a tactic which is generally only acceptable at higher altitudes.

and babies are crying because the noise scares them thoroughly. it made my ears hurt as i walked along eastern-star drive.


imagine the children in baghdad facing equivalent low altitude tactics, im sure they cried also.

it causes panic and fear in every human heart. war is terrifying, war is wrong. the machines of war are painful and hurtful not only to the enemy, but to every civilian in its presence.


i feel like im in a war zone...not only with all of the helicopters flying around at night, but now fighter jets, giving an aura of miltary might.

we must respect the military, while they respect the power they have to harm any number of people. gross negligence. and take its propaganda with box of iodized salt.
