I chose not to read Alan MacLeod's article, not only out of laziness but because I always knew that globally women (and children) suffer more than adult men in wartime. Just to verify what I always knew to be the case I looked it up.

I fervently hope that my country never suffers another war on its soil but in the world we are entering I don't think that's guaranteed. War isn't just watching bombs fall on television.

Unfortunately for most of the population, war is exactly that: watching bombs fall on TV, and that includes the people who start them. Reduce your laziness and read Alan MacLeod's article.

I read it. It's disgusting. It brought back memories of my own "service" as a draftee 1967-69. This is why I don't believe in "free speech" for war mongers, cops and their bootlicks, fascists or billionaires.
