"Yep, Vietnam comes to mind."

And that was a proxy war we were fighting with Russia and China, just like the Ukraine war is yet another proxy war with Russia. You'd think after 71 years, this country would be tired of being involved in proxy wars. Maybe the military industrial complex and their investors are looking toward a 100 anniversary celebration.

I had 8 cousins and 1 brother of military age in the 1960’s. My brother joined, one of my cousins joined because he wanted to protect his brothers, 7 were drafted. All working class families paid some price.
