@spaced man spliffThe big problem is we rarely know which ones are right when the time comes. WWII was a very unpopular thing in the US (many who were for our entry favored going in with the Axis). Vietnam turned out to be a huge bust because we slowed the collapse of Communism rather than hastening it, the opposite of the war against Fascism. More modern wars… we may never know. We need a good crystal ball.
My hat’s off to those who endured the unthinkable regardless.
