Ukraine, Humvees, and My War Against War

March 17, 2022 Lehan Edirisinghe

A packed war-and-movie page that moves from The Tomorrow War and Ukraine into volcano memories, Humvee fantasies, anti-war arguments, school recollections, jets, flashbacks, and the belief that accountability matters more than all the patriotic theater around me.

Just like Ukraine! I think I want SL Army to be super high tech, advanced and elite globally. I have many plans on making this happen fast.

This is exactly what the US has said to Ukraine, until recently, when Joe authorised 350m military aid and 13.6b aid bill for saving Ukraine..

I think this might make the difference.

Remembering a Science-Fair Volcano While Dilka Did the Work

6:15 a.m.

My ██████ Mikey De Alwis and me made a volcano for our science fair too.

Whe Principal David Sanders came, we put the umm, what the f--k was it called?

Baking soda and vinegar or something

It makes carbon dioxide, fizzes

Sanders just said, great, walked by as it was foaming

He didn't understand the hard work we had put in

Me and my ██████ Mikey were playing Halo 2 or Halo 3 while Dilka made that, it so much effort....

Selling My Volcano Painting at an Art Exhibition

6:15 a.m.

(b)

I painted an oil painting of a volcano

And then some anonymous stranger, has bought the f--king thing at an art exhibition

Even back then, I was passing my horrible s--t off as "art" and charging maf---ers.

Arguing Against Battlefield Wars From Vietnam to Palestine

6:30 a.m.

(b)

I'm sick and tired of all these stupid wars. I hate how Raja let his kid Hashani join the US Army. I think it was a really st---d mistake. They are going to eventually be ordered into some battlefield. It was so st---d.

I told her not to join it. She's a doctor also. It's so wasteful. She should just be a doctor.

Those wars shouldn't be fought in the battlefield, but ideologically.. debated, solved.

They are so stupid.

They did the same thing with Vietnam, 58,000 Americans dead, 58,000 x 3 family members = 174,000 family members devastated, 58,000 x 600 people whom they know = 34,800,000 million people hurt.

What was the point of Vietnam? Just so a few people could make some money off the war and selling some military hardware and bombs.

What was the point of Iraq war? To topple Saddam? Then what? What's the point?

It doesn't matter to us, it doesn't keep us safe.

Even this bullshit war in Israel versus Palestine. It's so stupid. There is no real reason to be fighting. Those people are disgracing G-d, and their religious leaders, it is so pathetic how many people are harmed by it.

There are simple solutions to it.

The world is divided on it on purpose. So, that this war will continue.

They should just solve problems properly.

Just imagine, there is a land dispute in America? Or in Singapore? Will they make such a big scene? Firing rockets, terrorism, it's crazy.

How War Makers Manufacture Fear, Hatred and Violence

7:15 a.m.

(b)

This guy went to "Nam, and then he never came back! It is so sad! I hate war! It's just a trick, on people's lives, it is just done to make money and steal.

People who create wars, people who make wars happen, they always do the exact same thing, they say things to make people angry.

They make people feel angry, they make people feel scared, they say what they must, to make people feel hatred towards people..

They make people hate people they don't even know, so that they can kill those people...

When people want peace. They talk totally differently. They talk in a positive way. Constructively. Softly. They want to earn peace, have fun, eat, enjoy, sing, watch movies, raise families or pets.

Humvees and Welcoming a National Reckoning on Accountability

9:15 a.m.

I like humvees. I think they look beautiful. Very good looking type of military vehicle.

██████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████

Thank G-d the country's on her knees

Ready to █████████because of people like her running the country to the ground for so long

██████████████████████████████████████

They are so p-th-t-c

I'm happy the country is being forced to reckon with the harsh realities of accountability

F-22s, Flashbacks and Cutting Off Bad Relationships

12:15 p.m.

I love this jet. The F22 Raptor. I love it. I loved playing Generals Zero Hour!!

I love using jets as it is so cool.

I think that I just had flashbacks right throughout the day. It is like that for me. A lot of very bad memories. Dead, failed relationships.

I feel it is important to communicate accurately. It is helpful because you prevent relationships or you cut the bad relationships out.

When Jagath wastes my time, drags me to that██████████████████ Channa's house, he confuses and wastes my time and causes a mess. ██████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████

I am not happy to keep people around. They should cooperate with Shanika or other persons in our family because████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████

As we need to work with foreigners, I think this is where I should focus on.█████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████

I don't care about this stuff. I think that it is important for me to speak my truth. ███████████████████Jagath just tried to harm (mess with) a depressed family member, he tried to ████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████. I can't forgive him. I can't forgive Channa. I can't forgive Saranapala for that. I am not going to let it go. It will be there for life.
