Time for everyone to read or reread "The Guns of August." Imagine if we can stay out of this and just maybe produce a generation without PTSD. Some time back I realized that when I was born the WW1 vets were in their 50's and a lot of old drunks and "get off my lawn types were on every block. The WW2 vets were in their late 20's, early 30's. The Korea vets were early 20's and the Nam vets were still in grade school. Now I'm an old man and a neighborhood guy in his 30's flipped out with PTSD insanity and committed a heinous act in which fortunately no one was killed but the people involved will have nightmares forever over what he did to them. Too many of the human wrecks you have seen in your life were suffering from the effects of our mainly wars of choice. The only truly justified wars are the War of 1812 and WW2. Please do not confuse the very successful punitive expedition into Afghanistan in late 2001, early 2002 which ended with the Taliban army destroyed and a US contingent on the ground small enough to fly out on one plane with the nation building atrocity and war which followed. Ukraine is madness and Ukraine is not the "good guy." Eliminate the existing standing army as the Founders wanted to do. Its very existence gives people reason to think up ways to use it and most of them are very bad ideas.
