If Uncle Sam insists on sending American soldiers into harm's way, perhaps he could do a little more probing before he starts the next war.
My retired Air Force general friend is 91 years old.
While waiting for friends in the lobby of a restaurant,
he said to me out of the blue
"It seems we haven't fought a good war since World War II."
Most wars are stem to stern bullshit,
gobs of bloody meat thrown at a frightened populace,
manly diversions devised by leaders in need of a dodge,
political distractions whose purpose is
-- as it was in Shakespeare's "Henry IV; Part II" --
to "busy giddy minds with foreign quarrels."
