My English teacher came up with a theory:

"Only when there is no death is when there is no life"

It wasn't exactly that, but he told the class like 2 years ago.

my grandfather told me that one of the reasons he fought in WWII, was that so the next generation wouldnt have to.





dont hold your breath.
there's quite a difference inbetween WW2 and the wars after that. He was right that none had to fight something as horrendous as WW2, though wars continued.

five years... yeah it's been a while. To me it feels like yesterday that I saw the invasion on telly. But we can't really leave just yet.

And I suppose soldiers should feel better about trying to stuff your innards back into their bodies since at least it isn't WW2.

Not to pick on the 'greatest' generation or anything, but much of the fighting WW2 troops did was after a whole lot of time spent traveling. In Vietnam, helicopters made sure that troops got stuck in with amazing frequency by comparison. A pity that WW2 was terminated before the communists could be wiped out, or we wouldn't have stuck in a cold war.

WW2 was fighting an equally capable enemy for the most part. Not that I don't have respect for soldiers that fight the insurgents but I know who I'd rather be fighting.
