Seriously, I would love to see what the macho conservative American's attitude to war would be tens of millions of dead sons and daughters later :hmm:

Probably the same attitude as anyone else who has lost a child  but have you ever thought that our attitudes on war might be at least part of why we HAVEN'T had to fight a war on our soil in 140 years (not counting Pearl Harbor, Wake and the Aleutian islands of course)? |
And do you not think that might have something to do with your geographical situation?
