Here’s a story about finding the remains of a WW2 American bomber crew in Germany.
From your link. Over 73,000 American servicemen remain accounted for and MIA from WW2!
When you examine war it is always about greed, avarice and seeking more power or land by a few politicians somewhere, yes and dictators and kings are politicians too. That’s how many get their start.
Had we not frittered away all the lives and dollars on various wars, our society would be much better off. Things like cancer and Alzheimer’s could be cured, infrastructure would be rebuilt and we might have advanced technology to explore space. Instead we wage war.
The next time we decide to go to war we need to demand that the President and Congress and all of their advisers either serve or have their offspring serving in front line positions first. Then there won’t be a next time.
We also must competently defend the USA, unlike how we failed on 9-11, and unlike how we continue to fail from the many decade long southern border invasion.
The real problem exists because entangling alliances exist that are not in our (meaning we the people’s) interest. George Washington recognized it and warned us.
