My sister's husbands and my brother all served in the Army during WWII.

I served in the Marines in WWII and Korea.

All 4 of us did that gladly. Not because we were heroes and not because
wars are fun but because, unlike the war in Iraq, those wars had some
merit.

Stupidity cost 58 thousand American lives and 120+ thousand American
wounded in Vietnam.

Personally, I consider stupidity, be it individual or national, nothing
less than contemptible.
