a shield to guard us all, a shield to shade us

when someone promptly asked me what weapon i would choose if ever given a choice, i would most likely choose a large shield. some may say that its the most lamest weapon choice ever made. but to me its not. a shield is the most efficient of all weapon. because captain america uses it.

i used to ask myself why did captain america use a shield? why not use a heavily armed machinegun or an auto burst shotgun? my brain started to function as it would normally would when i want to piece up something broken or solving something.

why a shield? most people would say that a great offense is a sturdy defense. but then again, a great offense is mostly a great offense. but where would my brain go without thinking more about it. a shield symbolises a passive nature. the reason why captain america uses a shield is because he is symbol of passiveness. he is a soldier, and a soldier protects, eventhough he doesn't have any natural superpower, though he does have the super-soldier serum inside his body, which makes him like super in some way. but still his shield is his trademark.

a shield to a spartan warrior is like his right hand and another weapon beside spear and sword. the shield protects the fellow spartan, and protects themselves from enemy attacks.


i would mostly use a shield myself because another character that i know also uses a shield to fight, that is Goofy from Kingdom Hearts. yea, and from the description on the first kingdom hearts, when you choose the weapon at the start of the game. it says that a shield is used to protect your friends. and that is also why i would mostly use a shield more than any other weapon.

so the reason are as follows:
1. a shield is a symbol of passive-aggressive
2. a great offense is a great defense.
3. with a shield, you can protect your friends from danger
4. captain america uses a shield
4. Leonidas used a shield
5. Jason from Rise Of The Argonauts uses a shield as part of his weapon
6. Goofy uses it in Kingdom Hearts
7. i chose it when i first played kingdom hearts
8. if you throw a shield it always boomerangs back to you if its round and curved and thrown into right angle
9. if its made from vibranium it can absorb high pressured attacks
10. if your father before you and your grandfather before you used it, and its blessed by Apollo, then chances are, its enchanted and can shield you from damages even made by minotaurs or chimera.
11. if you're a disney character, and your shield is named Save The King, then it is you most powerful weapon, next to the keyblade that Sora won from defeating Sephiroth.

my conclusion is if you're in a battle choose a shield, but chances are in this day and age, they don't have any more shield, so find a good body armor.
