One year later they were off to war

Well.....I'm usually pretty anti-war. I'm 42, and can't think of a single justified war my country (usa) has been in during my lifetime.

But even I will admit, war was needed to stop Hitler. Now that I'm thinking about it, WWII may actually be the last justified war we've been in.

When I see them (which is rare these days) I'll salute anyone who wears those hats that say WWII Vet. Whereas I ignore the ones that say things like Vietnam Vet, or Afghanistan 2003 Vet.

Those wars mean nothing. There were no legitimate threats to safety. There were no reason to draft or volunteer. Freedom wasn't being defended. It was just a dick measuring contest between governments. The soldiers were just the ruler used to measure.

......not sure I understand the question. I was born 42 years ago because my dad had sex 42 years + 9 months ago?

To support the imposed US educated and chosen dictator, Syngman Rhee,'s mass killings that directly lead to the war?
