Older men declare war. But it is the youth that must fight and die.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
This war differs from other wars, in this particular. We are not fighting armies but a hostile people, and must make old and young, rich and poor, feel the hard hand of war.
We often fight wars with our young.
I'm fed up to the ears with old men dreaming up wars for young men to die in.
Sending our youth to war is wrong.
Demographics show that we are entering a battle between young and old. I call it the 'Age War.' The young want to hang onto their money to grow their families, businesses, and wealth. The old want the tax and investment dollars of the young to sustain their old age.
When we think of war, the tendency is to picture young soldiers only in their military roles. To a large extent this dehumanizes the soldiers and makes it easier for society to commit them to combat.
We must permit the youth of the land who would bear arms to decide whether or not there should be war.
In our Country... one class of men makes war and leaves another to fight it out.
The tragedy of modern war is that the young men die fighting each other - instead of their real enemies back home in the capitals.
No two wars are ever the same. Some are just, some are unjust, but the basic commonality shared between them all is that young men and women heeded a call to service, overcame their fear, and fought for their side.
