In recent years, debates about freedom of expression have become increasingly common, both on social networks and in the mainstream media. In the Western world, this type of discussion seemed to have been outdated a long time ago. Any democracy has included in its basic rights the freedom of expression by all its inhabitants. But there are always limits, which have to do with insults, grievances, offenses and defamations against the good name of other people, groups or associations. For example, it is common for there to be a special crime of offense against religious sentiment, which can affect those who criticize the faith of other people. In Muslim countries, this crime can even cost life. Freedom of expression is, on paper, absolute, and is also protected by the highest courts. However, when push comes to shove, censorship is the order of the day, especially in certain regimes. Content censorship can be used as an ideological, political or even religious weapon.

Those in power have the opportunity to stop certain types of statements, or to skew the content, to prevent their dissemination. It happens with those publications that can hurt feelings, or also with pornography, a content that, according to some countries, can be harmful to their traditions and customs. The porn industry has not stopped growing since it was definitively established at the end of the 60s, and with the Internet it has experienced a new golden age. It has never been so easy to access so much different content, for all tastes, from any electronic device. However, there are countries that see this type of scene as something dangerous, and censor it by blocking web pages. Internet censorship is a serious problem in certain nations, as Amnesty International has pointed out in numerous reports. This bias has to do with information contrary to the regimes that censor it, but also with this type of content that can be considered subversive. The most surprising thing is that among the countries that have come to prohibit porn web pages there are also some Western ones and supposedly very advanced ones.  

The armies are usually an example of rectitude, good behavior and seriousness, instilling these concepts from the first day to all soldiers. When someone wants to pursue a military career, they know that they will find a very hierarchical world in which they will have to comply with orders from superiors, without questioning them. An essential formula for the controller to work in complex situations, preparing them for the toughest and most complicated experiences. Through training, soldiers assume their roles, know their roles and their missions, collaborate and are also able to make their own right decisions at the right times. This is essential in the face of an important operation, where no matter how well planned it may be, the situation can go unforeseen at the slightest setback. This pressure, which is also being assumed little by little, is still a powerful mental burden that everyone must know how to cope with, if they want to continue being part of the army.

For this reason, it is also logical that in the barracks, a little search, you will find pornographic magazines, with women with little clothing or directly naked. At least, that was the case until the Internet revolution. To the extreme virility that the military has always assumed (even when there have been women in the barracks) is also added the need for relief. Many of these soldiers are young men who are far from their girlfriends, their partners, and although they may leave the barracks from time to time, the sexual options they find are not that many. For this reason, the commanders also understand that this escape valve is necessary, through porn, to release tensions. So much so that even the pornographic industry has found a vein in the military world, locating some scenes in this universe so recurring and recognizable. In fact, gay porn has already continuously presented situations in a military barracks, to the chagrin of many commanders and soldiers, although in a logical way. In most barracks there are only men, so like prison porn, military porn fantasizes about those same homosexual situations. Today, however, everything is much more diverse, and the expansion of this genre remains unstoppable.

Armed conflicts have always brought collateral casualties among civilians and people totally outside the military. In every war, in every conflict, there are always unexpected casualties. In fact, some countries have even played with this trick to go to arms , assuming that their enemy has caused the indiscriminate death of civilians. Things are still that way today, despite all the technological advances out there. It is said that an unmanned drone can successfully eliminate marked targets in a matter of minutes. However, we have already found that these missions do not always go well, and there are sometimes civilian casualties that could have been avoided. The situation generated by the conflict around them, with misery, hunger and uncertainty, also tends to leave serious consequences among the population of these territories. Especially if we talk about not so advanced countries that try to survive as best they can.

In the 1950s, the Korean War was one of the first important episodes of the so-called Cold War. The two great powers of the time, the USSR and the United States, they had a non-direct confrontation for more than three decades. Normally they helped allied countries that had entered the war precisely because they belonged to different blocs in that conflict. It happened in Vietnam, surely the most popular and repeated war in fiction, but years before the same thing happened in Korea as well. After the occupation of a large part of South Korean territory by North Koreans, the United States decided to take action . It had bases in that territory thanks to the treaty that emerged after the Second World War, and it took advantage of them to try to stop that invasion. The situation was more complex than it first appeared, and the war lasted no less than three years . Millions of civilians lost their lives, and also many soldiers from both sides. But even today, the consequences can be seen in Korean society, especially with leaks of secret reports from that time that speak of prostitution in the North American bases…

The human being has been involved in wars since the beginning of time, due to the domination of certain more advantageous territories, for cultural or religious issues, due to the avarice of some trying to subdue and subdue others … War, unfortunately, is part of our genetics and proof of this is that not even in a world as advanced as ours, in which most people already live at least with the necessities basic covers, the war has been able to disappear . Human beings continue to face bloody war conflicts that cause not only military casualties, but also many civilians. Wars continue across the globe, from the Gaza Strip to the Horn of Africa, through violent outbreaks in South Asia and outbreaks of violence in Europe, until not so long ago. The desire to fight does not seem to have changed much, although the military strategy to win these armed conflicts has.

After all, military strategy has to do with the resources that a given army or armed force has to defeat its opponent and achieve its objective in battle. These resources range from the troops themselves and the supplies necessary for them to survive to the invention of new weapons, or new tactics based precisely on those advantages offered by emerging technologies. Military strategy has to do not only with winning a battle, but also with finding the best way to do it to reduce the losses and the necessary costs, using intelligence, tactics and coordination to make the war is an art, and not just a barbarian confrontation where two groups of people slaughter each other without rhyme or reason. T strategy is fundamental today in the military aspect , and there are many wars that have been won thanks to surprising tactics that have made an inferior army defeat a better prepared one.

The situation in the world seems to be increasingly delicate. We are in the middle of a terrible pandemic , but even something so atrocious has not deprived human beings of the desire to fight, threaten or go to war. Protection of the countries remains in the hands of the armies, but many of them have had to pitch in to solve complex situations caused by the pandemic. For many, the armed forces only serve precisely to go to war, and they see soldiers as soulless people who have been convinced to kill and die for a country. In reality, anyone who gives his life to the armed forces knows that he does so out of a vocation to protect others , to help them, to be there in the most difficult moments. This is what the army does, and this is how many are convinced to join it.

Finding love in these times is not easy at all, although you have surely already been able to see for yourself. Our idea of ​​that ideal romanticism has been shattered forever, because we have realized that love is not like that of the movies . It is something real, a fight that must be fought every day, where there will be magical moments and others not so good, but that will also help us to point the relationship. Love means respect, commitment and complicity , and that is why it is so difficult today to find a man who can fulfill all of this, and who also attracts us physically and sexually, something that we cannot leave either. as secondary, because it will be what ignites our flame after all.
