 | Why a clone can never have a real life. |
 Thank you for selecting MJM blog airlines. We request that you discard of all liquid's, gell's, shampoo's and everything else you have in your possesion. Thank you.
Thought's. We all have them, all the time. But what does a soldier think? What is running through his mind when bullet's are wizzing past him. Most likely he's thinking a few thing's at the same time. First, he's thinking about that man shooting at him. Second, he's thinking about his wife and kid's. Third, he's thinking about his parents. It's natural for those last two to pop up when your in danger, when you don't know if your going to live.
Now, what does a clone trooper think. Does anything run through his mind when he's being shot at. Of course we all know that he is thinking of the droid shooting at him. But he can't think of his mom or dad, or of his kid's and his wife. Why? Because he dosn't have any. It's tragic to think that maybe the last thing a clone trooper will think of before he dies is " I'm afraid." He'll never have a family, he'll never have a chance to have children. Again, why is this? Is it the Jedi's fault? Partially, but I'm not their yet. Who's fault is it really?
The Kaminoan's. The lying, disgusting, evil, vile Kaminoan's. I never liked them in the first place. Reading the begining of Triple Zero made me hate them even worse. Why is it their fault they can't have a family? Because they relentlessly beat it into the clones that nothing mattered except serving the Republic. They didn't teach them how to live outside of the army, they just taught them discipline and servitude. That's all they ever gave the clone's. Of course there were men like Kal Skirata and even Walon Vau who taught them of their heritage. I think Vau cared about his boy's a lot more than we give him credit for, but that's off topic. But some clones would never get to learn the wisdom of Skirata or Vau. Some clone's would only know to serve the Republic and to obey every order they were given. We do have the Commando's and the ARC's that are much more independant, but it is, again, thank's to their trainers. I don't think that our " Shiny boy's" would be as free willed as they are now if the Kaminoan's were the only one's to train them. I got to wondering why the Kaminoan's didn't teach them about life outside the GAR. What reason did they have. I don't think it was in the specification's they were given for the army. So why would they do something like that? A power trip. Pure and simple. The Kaminoan's are obsessed with power. So they took the liberty of taking away the clones liberties. It's disgusting to think about, but it's true.
Now, on to why it's partially the Jedi's fault. It's their fault because they didn't do anything about it. At my old school, if you see a kid being beaten up and you don't do anything about it, you get the same punishment as the kid doing the beating. The Jedi at any time could have taught the clones about the real world, but they didn't. They could have brought them to Coruscant and taught them how to really live. But they never did. And why is that? Because they beilived that every living thing in the universe should follow their order, and their order didn't approve of that. Their order didn't approve of love, of making attachment's to friends and family. So the Jedi just let them stay the way the Kaminoan's made them. Fortunatly some the clones had men like Skirata and Vau so they could get a taste of independant life. But some would never know a life outside of the GAR.

Yet, another sign of the Order's corruption by religious hypocrisy; and that includes that elf-frog, Yoda.
I always used to love the Jedi but then I realized how they really, if they could have, would have made the whole universe bend to their order. I can't blame Anakin for turining. Of course there are some Jedi who don't follow the order perfectly ( Qui-Gon, Etain, Bardan, Anakin, Seasee Tiin) but other than those few the order wasn't all good.
Nice blog, MJM, and welcome to the Hyperspace side!
Thanks YY, I was wondering when you would finally comment on one of my blogs. Thank for showing up.

Sure thing! I haven't been around the blogs near as much lately, so when I saw your blog entry, I freaked out! They are very good. Oh, and thank you for putting me on your blog roll.
Exactly gahmah. I always hated the Kaminoan's from day one of watchign AOTC. I had hoped in BF2 you could do hunt on Kamino.
That would've been really cool. I also wasn't too fond of the Kaminoans after AOTC, but I tolerated them. After reading the RepCom books, all I could think of was stabbing those Aiwha-bait in the necks. With a vibroblade, of course.

The Jedi are selfless, they only serve others, I think that the Jedi are good.
May the Force be with us all! God bless!

I agree that the order is good and all, but not as good as they claim. Sure they still represent good, but some of them think that they are to high and mighty and that all should follow the order.

Thanks for the compliment, I could've used these blogs back when I applied for the PLB!!!  It would be a crime for me not to put you on my blog roll, seeing as how Clone Junk Heep Driver is still one of my favorite SW character's ever!!

So, I have to tell you guys this. Me and my parents went out to Don Pablo's for dinner tonight and there is a Barnes and Nobles across the parking lot. So my Dad decided we should walk around for a bit. We wound up in front of the BaN and went in. My parents said I couldn't buy anything though. I left with Legacy of the Force: Betrayal!! I'm so happy right now.

MJM, how can you say it is the fault of the Jedi? Given the times the clones and Jedi were thrown together, it wasn't as if the Jedi really had the time to strike up friendships with the men in armor. A major war was occurring all around them, and it was all the Jedi and clones could do just to stay one step ahead of the Separatists. Remember, the Republic forces were being stretched t-h-i-n-l-y across the galaxy. There was no rest for the weary.

If you have read both Commando books, you'll know the clones never got leave (extended R&R), something Kal said he longed to schedule for his squad. There was, I think, a commaraderie between the Jedi and the clone troopers, and, given the chance, I think they could have become friends, that the Jedi could have introduced the troopers to "civilian" life.
Also, the Jedi were in a similar boat as far as their lives were concerned. They were removed from society, too, from a very early age. The clone troopers knew of life only among their brothers. The Jedi knew of life, for the most part, only among their brothers/sisters.

(finally, the end!)
The Jedi, true, went out and about among different cultures and societies, but it usually was not during war. War changes everything, and lives are put on hold.
For the record, when a soldier is being shot at, thoughts of home and family are usually pushed to the back on his/her mind. What he/she is concentrating on is staying alive. Taking one's mind off the moment at hand can get one killed.
Good blog

It seems to be quite a theme in the GFFA - conditioning towards a certain POV from birth, and no escape from it. Hmmmmmmm. Ponder this I will.

It is a trick of war that stops us from 'thinking'. Desperate to save our own skins, we often forget why it is we are fighting in the first place. The Jedi, the Republic, the Clones themselves allowed fear (fear of death, fear of change) to overwhelm their common sense and sense of decency forcing them down the 'dark path' Yoda warned about so many times. The sad thing is it lead exactly where they all knew it would...into darkness. Yes, light was born anew, but how many suffered for everyone's 'lack of vision'. It was exactly this 'survival instinct' that Palps counted on. We'll do pretty much anything to survive, including forsaking what we hold most dear. It's an interesting dilemma.

JediMelindaWolf:
Yes, I know Clone's never got R&R but that dosn't mean they never had down time. There were times during the war when Clone's and Jedi were sitting in the trenches together and at any point there a Jedi could have a least tried to teach them about the outside world. Keep in mind I said it was only partially the Jedi's fault, meaning that they didn't really do anything to hurt the Clone's like the Kaminoan's did, but most of them certainly didn't try to help them. There's a difference. Also keep in mind that these are just my opinion's and that none of you have to see it the way I do.

Thanks! I may have to put up a website so I can post those stories again. In case you haven't noticed, I had to take them down because they were considered fanfic. If I start the website, I may even make more episodes!
My parents said I couldn't buy anything though. I left with Legacy of the Force: Betrayal!! I'm so happy right now.
Congrats! Enjoy! And I expect a spoiler-free review on my desk by Wednesday...
