No surprises here. It has almost always been true that those who have experienced war are the ones who never want to see war, for anyone, again. Contrast this war with Vietnam, where, when people saw what was happening through their TV screens, more and more people turned against it. This time is different, of course, because we are not sending our young men to fight, especially not those who were drafted, so it's easier to let others send their sons, father, brothers to die. It's a sad commentary, to be sure.
