I spent 15 months watching from the bridge of an aircraft carrier as airplanes loaded with 500 pound bombs, or napalm took off from the flight deck for 24 hours a day. The number of combatants and civilians killed must have been huge. These kind of endless bomb attacks continued for almost 10 years. Millions of people must have been killed. I know 58,000 Americans were killed and the lives of probably a million young men like me were spent fighting a war. The war was never thought out, never winnable, and left a country crippled and ruined today.
No other nation on earth so blindly enters into prolonged civil wars half-way around the world like the United States. What are we crazy? The US is supposed to be peace loving country, but half of my 60 years on earth the country has been at war. As much as people love to bash Russia and China, neither of these countries have been involved in foreign wars as often as the US.
