Peace Corps

Peace, no matter through what means, is the ultimate goal in any society. Throughout the ages, wars have been waged, crusades and slaughter swept across holy lands, and genocides which have slaughtered millions of human lives have all been perpetrated on the pretense that if these atrocities are carried out, the outcome will be peace. The Nobel Prize celebrates peace across the globe, and awards those who have brought peace to the societies they represent. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. desired…

Throughout their history the Vytakans have preyed upon the skills the Eustia woodsmen have learned and perfected over many centuries, through secrets passed…

War is beautiful. War is necessary. We must fight because we are right, and the enemy is wrong. When raised in a nation that is free, these three statements will be echoed until it is time to be shipped off to battle. There is no argument or resistance, only a generation of young men that believe their right is not to be free, but to die in hopes that their sacrifice will bring freedom to those they love. “Dulce et Decorum Est” by Wilfred Owen is a bitter contradiction about the common belief…
