Yes, that ^. I tend to be very uncomproimising about war, and thinbk of it in absolutely no half-hearted terms.
That'S also the reason why I am very hesitent to support a war. But want it to be totally uncompromised and totally determined if there is a war that I see as a need. You go all the way, or you don'T start walking at all. If that is too much asked of people, they better should not be in favour of a war. In the wars of the past 40 years wehere the Western powers got involved, compormise anmd hesitation were allowed, and about the ,motives we better do not even start talking. As a consequnces, these wars got lost, either militarily, or by turning them poltiically into strategicx defeats afterwards.
I hate our soldiers being wasted for such doing. And by "our soldiers" I mean the American and British soldiers as well as the German, Spanish and Polish ones. The flag is not important for my argument.
