4. Few Americans feel the "pain" of war in their face each day. For most it's out
of sight out of mind. During the Vietnam war the threat of being drafted raised the anxiety level for many, as well as the nightly news which was "real' news then. Not this homogenized tabloid journalism we call news now. Hence, the wars drone on and on like a hidden cancer eating at the fabric of America. It is a fool's errand IMO. And the financial drain is masked by pointing fingers and blame at other targets. And many get quite wealthy with war. We are a foolish country with nebulous ideals anymore. The ship has lost its rudder.
