Yep. They pump up the young with tales of Gods concurrence, patriotic heroism and American invincibility. Then they go hide in their bunkers until the storm blows over. When it's all over, mothers from the all across America from the trailerparks of West Virginia to the tenements of the innercities and the suburbs that ring them get to mourn their dead children.
Sometimes war is necessary. This is sad, but true. However, it's the flippant attitude and the desire to jump straight into it that some display, that bothers me.
