well, as a deffendant for the people in the top vs people case, i'm afraid the concept of war has escaped us.  I remember as a young lad watchin the parade with my grapa leading a group of men whome he served with, down the one street of town toward the flag and memorial.  War he would tell me is something he hoped i would never have to see or be affected by.  To date i think, this is the popular outcome of a population who see nov 11 as a day off and pay little or no reguard to the sacrifice or of the why.  I myself am fairly ignorant about what sacrifices of war time mean since really there is no 'remembering', as of 1974 we were just gettin over the hippies.  Since there is really no remembering for myself, i like to thank God and the great beyond for the present.  The now.  i think this has only underscored your post, Toppers
