28. American leadership loves a good war!

Always have.
The old military war hawks want to relive the success ofWW2, possibly.

They just don't want to send their own sons and daughters though.

The average older American might remember the costs in the Korean, Vietnam, Afghanistan (etc) wars while the reasons have long been forgotten.
The sons, uncles and fathers who never came home, and those that did, crippled physically and mentally for the rest of their lives.
Those are remembered.

And the 'love' for this one, another war based on vague premisses, is palpably missing.

America, do better!
Start with getting Trump off the planet.
