For instance, Larry J and Tom Brosz being so brave with other peoples lives and limbs. A lot of the other folks are, too, but I think they are much younger.

I suppose it's natural for adolescents to be enamored with power, force and war. However, adolescents are exactly the folks who put their bodies into the fray. There's an excuse for them, and they'll learn.

When people get a bit older, though, when their bodies are safe, when all they are doing is urging others to be killed and maimed, when their idea of war is a Rambo movie, when they see one side as all good and the other as all evil, one could only wish they'd grow up. At least mature. A little bit.

Patriotism is wonderful in everyone. Jingoism, however, is not an attractive trait in an older person. Especially a vocal older person sitting in a safe haven.
