What If War Were Declared

What If War Were Declared. Would you serve or lay low? Here's another What If question. What If War Were Declared, but both country's citizens and military refused to go. Wouldn't that be amazing? That's something I would really love to see, but I doubt such an event will ever be logged in future books of history, but who knows? Maybe this idea I just shared has just planted a seed that can be nourished by others with great vision, causing such an event to succeed.

Wow, Bill! I like the idea of declaring war and having wiser people refuse to fight. Some folks fled to Canada during the Vietnam War; others were arrested for refusing to participate. Wonder if we could ever succeed in convincing people that war is not the best way to resolve differences. Great poem!! Love, Carolyn
