I'm quite positive I'm not a Democrat. What's that supposed to mean, anyway?
You truly believe you can draw a grand conclusion about how war affects man because you've read about it in books and you've seen it on television and in the movies? Wow. I suppose I should tell my father what he should've experienced in Vietnam because I saw Apocalypse Now and Platoon.
I asked if you weren't sure you weren't a Democrat because this seems to be one of their favorite comebacks for anything concerning a person's opinion on the war that they don't agree with - have you volunteered or have you sent your children? Sorry, I got snide, it just hit a nerve.
I have family members that have been to war, one was a Korean POW who was kept in a cage for nearly a year. I'm not talking about Hollywood hype, I'm talking about books and documentaries from real people. Saying that a person becomes so numb that they lose their decency is an excuse that indecent people use to justify their actions when they are caught.
