war is not swell, it is a horseman of the apocalypse. it is the scourge of mankind. ask the vets who are coming back from afghanistan and iraq and korea and vietnam and wherever.
Isn’t it odd how we all know that war is a terrible thing, but the most popular video games are war games, the highest grossing movies are war movies, and some of the most popular toys for children revolve around war?
I really should see Red Dawn one of these days. It’s become something of a pop culture meme of late. I was in grade school when it came out (not to mention I was a girl), so that one passed me by.
Top Gun I’ve seen a million times because my sister had a Tom Cruise thing going on. Rambo? Stallone? Meh.
Thanks for the info, I found ‘Jacob’s Ladder’ quite disturbing as well.Also, I offer these most damnable words by Dennis Hastert,” War has a kind of dark beauty."I see ’dark beauty’ nowhere synonymous with HIDEOUSLY UGLY!!!!!
