We Belong Together... In The Hurt Locker

This video was very hard to do. Especially with all that has happened recently with Afghanistan, and all that may happen in the future. It is an absolute shame, and one that is even harder to bear when you know your higher ups failed to do things right and let an entire country fall to terrorists. We watch the news in the US as the last planes leave, and know we can't save everyone we would hope to be able to. Sometimes I wonder if America is addicted to losing wars. It's been a long time, a very long time, since anybody "won" a war. That is a shame too.
I wanted to make this video as non-political or ideological as possible, and to just plainly show you what war is. To get you right up to that line, at the same time keeping you safe from crossing over it. War is sad, ugly, dirty and horrible. It steals your future away and replaces it with something monstrous and disastrous.
This video is also about time running out. People like to think that time is infinite, and yes it is, but OUR time is not. We are given time as a gift, but it's how we take care of and use our time, that is what really matters. Suppose you suddenly found out that you only have a day or an hour left to live, how you would change and see the world in that day or that hour. You might go through the whole range of emotions, through every logical thought you might think to change your future to something better. Maybe you think about mistakes you made in the past and how to account for them. But this is true for everyone, no one knows until suddenly they know, and then if you suddenly know, no one else understands unless they share the same fate as you. So I ask you to watch this video, then think about it, and find the answer for yourself.

Much respect to Mariah Carey, and to the cast & crew of The Hurt Locker.
