War and eCanada, a nation and its warriors going soft?

Well i've threatening to do it, and here it is, another article.


I remember a time in eRepublic when the warriors of our eWorld were dynamic, free thinking beasties.
They would see a war and go and fight in it, as long as it was for the right people against the right people.
Back in the day those (or I think I will use we) soldiers came upon the novel idea of buying moving tickets and then moving to that country and fight for the cause.
Back it in beta I believe our own dear Banach was one such warrior fighting in eSouth Africa against the Indonesians, I believe in that particular conflict Banach was the only eCanadian to fight.
I myself in V1 took part in the second (or maybe third) eSouth African conflict, whilst the CAF was out doing a certain eastern European country's bidding, for the sake of this article I shall call that country eRomania.


The eRomanian Flag Recently

I digress, during those dark and mystic times a moving ticket using warrior tended to look a little like this,



Ignoring the ginger beard,
Look how tooled* up and ready for action he is, this is a fighter ready for action, even our own dear ironman looks like that, even if he does have a gold encrusted weapon and mink lining to his uniform, and probably drives around in diamond encrusted hummer.

* Tooled up = armed in English English


Which brings me to the point of all of this.

IF YOU WANT WAR.......GO AND FIND ONE
Don't sit around writing articles about 'how you want a war', 'why don't we start a RW' or 'dear ironman can I pay you to start a RW so you can get another medal'.

Back in the day we went and found a war if we wanted to fight,
We bought a moving ticket and moved, we didn't sit whining about how boring life is with no war.

So for all the armchair warriors wanting to fight a battle from Ontario or PEI, please, for the love of god PLEASE:-
*Buy a moving ticket
*Buy some weapons
And move to a place where is a battle.

Its how it used to be done in the old days.

Otherwise you will end up looking like this,



And just to add,
YOU CAN FIND A WAR IN eSOUTH AFRICA
