Why do we call someone who cheers for war, a patriot; but want of our youth to be home raising their kids and sleeping in their beds...we are called horrible things? I dare call any man who prefers our soldiers in far away lands doing the bidding of politicians, a man no more than a moron is a scholar. True patriotism is shown when we welcome home those who were sent into harms way for no more good than whistling into a hurricane.
The great Alexander was at war for decades, and through it all he sent tribute, plunder and trophies of his conquest to his home...and the progress that has come from centuries of learning...is now, after we fight and conquer...we send our money to those lands we have fought in. Oh, civilization, how much better do we sleep knowing we have literally paid for our sins.
