Yeah, well, he sorta liked WWII (at least in retrospect). We were fighting an enemy who was clearly in the wrong, clearly evil, clearly different, and clearly an existential threat, and with the full support of the homefrontand an honorable CIC.
And more importantly we were fighting to win.
Korea, much the same.
Vietnam, not so much...
The scary thing today, more frightening than Ebola is that we are again facing an enemy who is clearly in the wrong, clearly evil, clearly different, and clearly an existential threat - and that enemy is in our White House. I'd rather have Vietnam again than the drug-addled communist we're stuck with today.
