But I would argue that a longer war it's more difficult to keep records than a shorter war.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
Obviously, the greater the length of a war the higher is likely to be the number of casualties in it on either side.
I did frequently refer to my war record in World War II, but not in any flamboyant way.
I am making this statement as an act of wilful defiance of military authority, because I believe that the War is being deliberately prolonged by those who have the power to end it.
I suspect that war will become obsolete only when something worse supercedes it.
I venture to say no war can be long carried on against the will of the people.
War is mainly a catalogue of blunders.
We released 400,000 classified documents, the most extraordinary history of a war to ever have been released in our civilization. Those documents cover 109,000 deaths. That is serious matter.
News reports don't look at the land that existed before a war and the land that exists after a war. Reporting on war is a snapshot in time.
First of all, war is a very, very difficult thing to deal with, even on the good days.
War is an instrument entirely inefficient toward redressing wrong; and multiplies, instead of indemnifying losses.
