A shame we never learn. Before anybody comments, I've been there, been shot & didn't like it. I wear my dog-tags every once in a while to remind me that things can always be worse.
Still a shame.
Thanks blunderbuss2 for the appreciation.
I would also rather have things worked out with other countries without having to go to war, but today I'm more concerned about how much loyalty our younger generation have for our country.

Let's not start a political issue, but the States has gotten it's self in to a perpetual war-time economy just like Nazi Germany & I don't see a way out. About 1/2 of your tax money goes into "Defense" which is actually offense & no way to reverse that trend that I see. All the waving of the U.S. flag has come to remind me of the Nazi's. You just don't see the true picture until you see it from the outside. You can't see the true picture from the inside.
I'm a U.S. citizen originally and wish I knew the answer. But I don't! I've lived outside of the States for 40 yrs & have seen & learned a lot that the "insiders" haven't. If I knew the answer, I would share it! And I would appreciate no radical crap. I just hate war & the suffering it causes. By the way, getting shot hurts, a lot! Not recommended. Please save me the radical crap unless you have been there, & not even then!
