There used to be an old saying something to this effect, "Let the old men fight the wars (in other words send the old men first) then all wars would cease. Old men would want to try to work differences out and seek to find neutral ground. However, now men can fight wars using such lethal weapons that saying really doesn't work anymore. I enjoyed reading this one. Thank you for sharing it with us. Sara K.
