Most war vets are psychologically/ physically scarred for the rest of their lives. Instead we have a President who served in the reserve air force.<BR/>However, I think it IS important to study,analyze and educate ourselves about these horrible events, if not to avoid them happening again then at least to salvage any meaning from the atrocities of the past and to honor the memories of those who suffered.<BR/>I think war is the ugliest most horrifying contrivance invented by mankind.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15312585.post-1137088068799875392006-01-12T09:47:00.000-08:002006-01-12T09:47:00.000-08:00I read a great book about this topic called Amrits...I read a great book about this topic called <A HREF="http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/0836428269/qid=1137087342/sr=8-1/ref=sr_8_xs_ap_i1_xgl14/104-1731177-6825550?n=507846&s=books&v=glance" REL="nofollow"><BR/>Amritsar Mrs. Gandhi's Last battle</A>, by Mark Tully and Satish Jacob.
