In recent years we have often heard the term, "War Weary" used in a conversations that go something like this: "The American people are just tired of hearing about war and the dead, and want us to just stay home and mind our own business." Or perhaps: " I don't watch the news any more...too depressing." In truth, most Americans could not name one way that they have been inconvenienced by the wars we have been in since Vietnam.
Today those fighting our battles are volunteers. Not one conscript. Most Americans will know someone killed in traffic rather than armed conflict. Most families have not been touched by our wars, only those who are warrior families.
Since the loss of 58,000 souls in Vietnam American loses have totaled about 7,800. Painful as that is an imperial war-monger we are not!..........Medicineman!
My blog will attempt to be a source of accurate information on any subject put forward. My approach to any question will come from the conservative, freedom loving,and Christian. My background includes history, medicine and military. Welcome!
