Americans have set aside one day in the year when we honor those who have died in our wars.
I believe that during my lifetime that I've experienced only part of a long period between the end of the first World War until the second one when we had no real involvement in war, one generation of peace.
I was to meet my younger brother at a New Jersey military base when I was returning from Europe and he was on his way to Korea.
It seems that now we have had men and women dying in a non-purpose war for far too many years with no end in sight. Is it to be one year more or two years more? No one really knows when. But does anyone know why, Mr. Johnson? What is its justification?
Nor do we know how to extricate ourselves from a war that we cannot justify. We might question what winning a war or being victorious might mean.
It seems that all of our would-be leaders haven't the slightest idea what winning or being victorious means. Yet they want to lead. Why?
I think, Mr. Johnson, that those running for the presidency should show how realistic they are. They should first of all gives us justification for remaining their another day, unless it's the safe extrication of our troops.
"Yes, I/m thinking about it, but I believe that all other explanations are collective illusions."
