Ron, I didn't state it was simple. There are relationships in war that are too complicated to even imagine. I think your remark about, "Then you start associating everything you despise about war too men.", an assumption on your part. I said I didn't understand men. I'm not unaware of the exceptions. I didn't state anything as absolute. I believe everything-is-connected-to-everything. Geez, I've written that a thousand times. War is crap!!!!!!!!!!!! And if you've been there, I won't help you defend it, PTSD, or not. I've been bullied before with that excuse.
