2. Fast-forward to potential 19-year-old recruits today:

"I confess I had no desire to die in a godforsaken desert. I considered the Iraq war already lost." But, let's try to get him over there anyway, right, John? Because this time, it's important and noble!

The chickenhawks must giggle themselves to sleep every night over how easy it is to go to war with other people's loved ones.
