My dad being a 'Nam vet , I can tell you about the long term effects of war not only on our vets and their families but the suffering of people abroad in other countries we fight.. Civilian casualities are often higher than the loss of our own troops.. I would certainly pray my son is never forced to fight in an unwarranted war of aggression against another country. Many of our troops don't support this either.. War should only be fought as a matter of self defense and only as a last resort when all other options or alternatives fail.. Most wars would be avoided if politics weren't involved anyway.
