If the world, or big parts of it, did not thwart the Nazi threat, where would it be today?
War, because of the world we live in and the place in time we are, is a necessary evil.
Most wars are avoidable and unnecessary, the result of greed, imperialism, or just plain insanity.
Nations, therefore, need to defend themselves, and governments need to protect it's citizens.
Personally, I wish there were no wars at all.
I happened to be born at the perfect time. I turned 18 in 1978. Vietnam had just ended and there was no imminent threat. No need to draft. No need to enlist.
You certainly wouldn't find me enlisting in order to fight for something I don't believe in, nor understand.
