True, true, and true. War dose that. Today we call the small wars (Conflicts) Why they need to fight I'll never know. I manage to kill nothing but time. 8 years 9 months 19 days. in the US ARMY.

My daughter was a captain in the Air Force. I was so glad she was not deployed as this was during the Gulf War. We felt lucky.

War. There are many types of war. They say, "All is fair in Love and War". This is a blatant lie of course. All is not fair in Love and War. How one is serving in War has been misunderstood from the beginning of time, but from the puppet masters, never misunderstood, it is black and white, clear cut, strategic, like a Chess Board. This is true.

It is a chess board, and the poorest of the poor are the players.
