People say that a World War is more likely because most of the people that fought in them have died.

So basically the knowledge of how bad it was has faded away. Same for a trade war...

Starting with the Korean War, they became "conflicts" or "extended military engagements".

After Vietnam, our government learned to stage war coverage so that its horrors appear minimal to the general public.

However, the people who fought have not forgotten a damned thing.
