Rather than celebrating Veteran’s Day, I wish we could celebrate Armistice Day or, you know, the end of all war as we know it. That would be wonderful. I would much rather like to live in a world without conflict.
The unfortunate truth is that we don’t.
I come to this Veterans Day with dread. I often am asked what the United States will learn from its wars in Afghanistan and Iraq?
We have not rid the world of war. It continues in its small scale fashion at this very moment in conflicts all around the world.
