in the 1800s, my paternal side had guys serve in the Civil War, WW1, WW2, and Korea. So during the draft era, my father insisted me brother would serve if called. They had some heated debates, which upset my father enough that he told his supervisor at work. A few evenings later, the supervisor brought his son who was on leave to tell Dad the truth about the war. After that, Dad said he would help my brother make it into Canada if drafted.
People should see that jackals like Jared are trying to "stop" wars based entirely on access to resources and self-interest. As Elders, it is our duty to try our best to teach the younger generation these lessons we have learned. Too often -- in my opinion -- the internet serves to cut people off from history. Yet the potential good is there for us, if we have open and frank talks about issues. If I look back seven generations, my grandfather taught in hedge schools along the dirt roads, which was "illegal" at the time. We can do the same with the information highway.
