Sure! Just like Clinton personally led our military into Bosnia and Somolia and Johnson was the first to step foot in Vietnam and fired the first shot at a Viet Kong.

Dong?

My dad can be very repetitive.

Till this very day, sometimes he talks like he still lives in the war. So it seems, the image of the war is never erased from one's memory?

no, war is pointless. Would it kill people to just talk? And settle things with out bringing out the bombs, cannons and guns?

War is not "pointless", but it's certainly not the most just way to solve problems.

I for one, beleive war is pointless. And, you have a point, no one is going to just sit and talk things out. But war divides nations, it depicts people that were once the same, in to either peace lovers, or war hungary. Its just seem so trivial in the end.

heh, heh. I heart you, Al.

Joyslayer, agree with some of the thoughts in your post, but war isn't trivial to me.

Many times pointless, but not always. Not when it comes to survival. Always horrible, but not trivial.

I think there are many who don't fall into either warmonger or peacelover camps. There are those who favor limited actions, and others who want peace negotiations initiated after having supporting a war their nation was involved in.
