The 60's had the Vietnam war.
I was a child, and with my dad in a pizza parlor.
Guys were watching the television, and there were numbers being shown.
My dad told me those guys were hoping their number wouldn't show. I still remember the guys drinking beer, but looked miserable.
- roenxi 5y agoSure. And how would you compare Vietnam to the Middle East wars in terms of cost benefit? I suppose now people get killed with drones so the US death count is lower. Does that make the struggle against terrorism better or worse than against Communism? There are arguments both sides. The risks are actually higher today as far as I can tell, the next big war might be the end of civilisation for a century or more. But what is happening in the world is much the same as ever, just more techy.
