Today is Veterans’ Day here in the US.
I can remember when it was called Armistice Day, after the treaty that ended World War I, a.k.a. “The War to End All Wars.”
I wonder how many soldiers, sailors, marines, airmen/women and other military personnel go into battle hoping that their battle, their war will be the last. I think that’s what I would hope. “Hey, let’s not do this shit again, OK?”
And then swords would be beaten into ploughshares—and mortar into bicycle parts.
