there's one thing to defend ones family , or even ones country , but signing up for duty is another thing... your grandparents know what's right, it should not be forgotten, and i think the tendency of everybody who was in WW1 or WW2 , is to have a pacifistic nature, war is never right, it should never be acceptable, if anything , it is a failure of our species, our society , and everything we do. and it's all possible because some folks can get other folks to sign up, and take orders from cowards who don't even fight themself... if nobody would sign up, and take the orders, then what would we have had? Sadam & Bush duke it out mano a mano? maybe that would have been nice for all the civilians who "accidently" got killed. "sorry mam , i missed" "we had our gps coordinates switched, good luck on the house rebuild
maybe americans don't really understand us Europeans , and Japanese, because you've never actually had a real fight on your hands, in your back yard.
don't talk Pearl to me, or Twin Towers, that doesn't compare to what our grandparents went through 2 times 4 years , i'm talking total war within their country....you should be lucky for the geography of the USA... so you never had to endure something like a World War on your own soil...
but don't call me a liberal scumbag pacifist for honering the sentiments of the dead in my home soil... they sure as hell did not want war.
