I think people are always tired of war.

The greatest generation was not "tired of war". They were angry and wanted to crush the enemy, and then be done with it. Hmmmm. It worked.

"The greatest generation was not "tired of war"."

My parents were of that generation. My father was in the Navy and later civil service.

Rationing, funerals, long hours of work for all, news of thousands of Americans killed in single battles creating even more fatherless children.
There was no joy in that of course.
Sacrifice is the difference between then and now.
There is little sacrifice made by the average American civilian in this war today. Life is not disrupted for the average American as it was then.
Perhaps "sick" of war is more appropriate. That does not mean one is not motivated to win and understand sacrifice.
It simply not something anyone would choose unless it is a last resort or forced upon us.
There was a job to do. They did it, and at a great cost I hope this nation never has to pay again so much.

I read something that is really sad if true. In WW2 60% were drafted. During the early part of Vietnam when Green Beret's was a number one hit 60% volunteered. Sad. We should have one that one for our brave men and country. I get nauseated thinking about it.
