I would hope that Shadow is being sarcastic, with a point. Americans can be jingoistic to grossness. I appreciate Veterans who do their job no matter how horrific. Or pointless. But it's a good idea to remember that most military action is only for the benefit of a very few who have something to gain.
"What a thing to say Shadow ? War is the biggest insanity that humans can commit " TS, I assume that is essentially what Shadow is saying?
