I mean, this is serious stuff here, which affected peoples lives for a long time.

or do you think differently about these "Wars"??

Korea, Vietnam, and Iraq were "Police actions". All "police actions" and wars are an incredible waste of time, energy, lives, resources, and productivity. The wars were as serious as in the documentary, or worse. No one should ever fight a war.

Unfortunately in a war of ideas and wills, its people who die, and not the ones that are responsible. If there is any single group of people who pray for peace it is the military members and their families. For in war it is them that are ones who give their lives and bodies fighting for causes they may not even support - but yet they go and do what they're ordered. I think the media are the ones who have really brought the true horrors of war to people. Before it was something done in another place far away, but now is right there on TV, internet, etc, where people can see the true nature of war. Pray for Peace!

I do because i have veterans in my family of all the wars you have listed. My favorite story growing up was the one my grandfather would tell me of him growing up. He lied about his age at 16 so he could join the Army and escape his life, which he lived on the streets at the time. My grandpa is a veteran of Korea, and my other grandfather is a veteran of Vietnam. I have heard very few stories about these wars, because my grandfathers hate to relive the memories. I currently have a cousin in Iraq and an 'uncle' who is going to be out for the rest of his enlistment because he broke his ankle.

Regardless of what I think, I think you'll be hard pressed to meet anyone that doesn't have some sort of opinion. These are wars that have shaped the future of our nation. However, the consequenses are so severe we must question the worth of the overall goal? A great quote I recently read on a website is, "Governments and leaders will behave wisely one they have exhausted all other alternatives".

Korea, Vietnam and Iraq I or II are not World Wars.

As a Veteran and someone who comes from a family of several Veterans, I take it seriously and we know what war is like. Many of the documentaries try show what it is like, but unless you were in war, you don't know.

All wars are tragic. And they were just as terrible as the documentaries portray them. And if we cannot learn from these past wars and find ways to prevent them, we are doomed to repeat them again and again and again until the ultimate war destroys the earth.

I only believe half of what i hear on the news.
I don't like war at all.
It kills too many people.

I care about current events. I try to let the past be the past.
