To ignorant redneck jingoists...I imagine much you encounter is received as stupid. Most competant people who have actually fought in wars come back with anti-war sentiments, and that goes for most of my friends and family who have done a number of tours in Iraq. Its seems only the chickenhawk dipshits remain warmongers. Dying for freedom? What freedoms? WW2 was fought for freedom...all conflicts afterwards have been waged on behalf of the military industrial complex. Read more, youtube less.

American children will have to work in chineese sweatshops to work off their parents debts.

It's the end of an empire.

Well, War is NEVER "good" in the sense that you would CHOOSE to have one given the choice. But, it is also glorious and exciting, at least from a civilian's perspective. A "good" war is one that is fought for a worthy and relevant cause, has a high "awesome" factor and has minimal innocent deaths, while a BAD war is one that is senseless and unnecessary, goes on for longer than it needs to and brings greater economic costs to the countries involved, and ultimately doesn't have much of a
