There’s an awful lot of people out there who think war is just a video game, like Gulf Wars I and II.

I kinda think you hit the nail on the head.

Most war supporters have never been to war or observed first hand how a war torn country is devastated in so many ways.

Video games and movies show death and destruction without the emotional trauma that sets in when this is encountered for real first hand.

They have no idea what it’s like to be without electricity, communications, food, safe water or plentiful gasoline.

They have no idea what it’s like to be sound asleep having pleasant dreams when awoken by an ear shattering explosion to realize the neighbor’s home was hit by a rocket and they are all dead.

Go nuclear and it’s 10 times worse than I described.

People trying to poke the bear into a large scale war are morons to the 10th power.
