30. Recommended, so many great antiwar songs back in the day ...

agree with others who mentioned their disappointment with Dems who voted for the IWR ... some Dems did not.

War is good for the stock market though, I remember the day 10/10/2002 when the market bottomed after 2 1/2 years and lost about 50% ... somewhat another topic, though everything is connected. My foray into politics began with looking at the market.

About war, sad thing is there are those who were forgotten like the unknown soldier and the line "war is over" is over for them, but not so for others who survived and still struggle every day.

It never is over for those who served, my Dad was a Marine in WW2, I saw how it affected him at a certain time of the year, most likely when most of his unit was wiped out, being a survivor has challenges.

Decades later I learned he told my male cousins he would take them to Canada if they were drafted for Vietnam. He also said it is not what you know ... but who you know. We're seeing that now with this administration.
