there is nothing glorious about it. as Lincoln said, "Young men die for old men's pride." I truly hate war as much as anyone here. Yet, there are people who call me out when I say I support the troops 1000% and hate war 1000000%. They can't see my support for troops on the ground and not the war they were sent into.
