This is the 36th anniversary of the last American troops evacuating Vietnam.
I hope it's not that long until such an anniversary concerning "our boys in Afghanistan (and Iraq, and...)" come home.
I was one of those boys in the Phillipines in 1946 (World War II), as was my father in around 1916 (Phillipine "Insurrection"), and my grandfather around 1900 (Spanish-American War). And I don't think there's a "makewar" gene in the family tree.
War, what is it good for: absolutely nothing.
The just-elected administration, chosen in part because of opposition to war upped the commitement to continue/expand the war on Afghanistan for no discernible purpose. We should instead abolish the War Department (euphemistically renamed the "Department of Defense") and start a Secretariat for Peace.
Why not?
Love.
