You could tell that America was gearing up for war.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
I saw clearly that war was upon us when I learned that my young men had been secretly buying ammunition.
With the situation now, people might be intrigued to see how a country coped with war all those years ago.
Of the four wars in my lifetime, none came about because the U.S. was too strong.
For a great many years, as a soldier, I had a suspicion that war was a racket; not until I retired to civil life did I fully realize it.
The war changed everybody's attitude. We became international almost overnight.
Only the most deluded of us could doubt the necessity of this war.
We're in a world war.
People have a very political way of looking at war, and that's understandable.
Without a clear picture of where the military's covert forces are operating and what they are doing, Americans may not even recognize the consequences of and blowback from our expanding secret wars as they wash over the world.
How do you keep war accountable to the American people when war becomes invisible and virtual?
