Jenny's response to songs

I had a similar reaction to the songs as Casey. As I was listening to each of them Full Metal Jacket kept flashing in my head. They all seemed to connect because I could relate them all to Full Metal Jacket. All of them in some way were about war, however some of the songs were kind of contradictory. This contradiction makes complete sense to me though. I think that war is so complicated its hard not to have a conflict of emotions. On the one side, you began fighting for a reason or a cause but on the other hand people are dying and you want them home and safe. In Full Metal Jacket I found it really interesting that Joker wore a peace sign and a helmet that read 'Born to Kill'. This picture conveys my point that everyone wants peace however can feel conflicted because sometimes war is necessary. It is human nature. (Awful but true) Like Joker, Eve of Destruction points out that contradiction in people. If you don't believe in war, why do you have a gun? To me this question once again reinforces all humans' internal struggle about war, and whats right and whats wrong.
