Being a child of the 40's, I still remember San Francisco Bay chock full of Navy ships of all descriptions. I remember waving at them as they passed beneath the Golden Gate bridge into harms way. My mother (g-d bless her soul) moved us West with the flow of the work force to help build the war machine that eventually won that dang, terrible thing.

My turn came and passed with yet other wars...it doesn't end.

I agree with, paraphrasing author, Kurt Vonnegut--Hollywood, is the enemy for making "war" seem so respectable.

Cheers,
