The reality of war is not about feelings -
you never know when you might live or
you might die - you never know
and so - you are constantly in this state -
and then, that combat, the fighting, starts,
explodes - bang - suddenly is fighting
it was - they were trying to kill me and -
the reality of war is not about feelings -
it is not about hate, it is not about
anything like this - it is about you have
threatened my life and my job is to save my life
or to save my friends' life during the way
to get rid of it - simple -
no, it is not about feelings, it is a sort of
calculism, it is like business - business
is not about feelings, it is just about
making money - it doesn't matter what costs -
it is just about making money - how people
feel - what happens to the planet - it doesn't
matter - it is about making money - that is
just the truth of it - this was not about
politics - this was about one to one staying
alive - doing whatever was necessary to stay
alive - it wasn't about what is all
the debate in politics - war is never really
about politics for the soldier, it is merely
staying alive - because we don't feel -
to kill you have to stop feeling - to destroy
you have to stop feeling -
because it is not possible to have feelings
and to kill people.
(from a mc, which I had found by chance. different interviews have been recorded on it. the text written above was said by claude thomas, as I found out later. the voice and the words impressed me a lot, so I just made images to it which supported the sound without disturbing it. this video and the sound became the project "Not About Feelings" 1996)
