in my teen/pre-teen years, i'd be watching some WWII movie and daydream about going back in time to sometime '39/'40. all i'd have was a notebook full of patents from the 50's & 60's, give them to American scietists, end the war, and wipe out the krauts & nips.
i guess growing up is realizing the good guys don't always win and there was a more worthy recipient of such tech.
When it comes to war and good guys and bad guys, my own journey of discovery has informed me that:
All sides in a war fight for purposes other than those publicly stated, even by the good guys.
They involve almost all good people with no argument with one another, but who come to deadly combat because large groups have been greatly deceived.
The top levels are often rife with bad guys.
The real bad guys are hidden, not wearing uniforms of holding public office.
The really bad guys who orchestrated the wars in the first place are safe because most people simply cannot believe they exist.
All of the above being a quick sketch of the situation, it's no wonder most can't see through it, understand the threat of all warmongers, and just decline to participate.
It's funny, because I grew up knowing without doubt that nazis = bad. Now even with all the reeducation I've gotten over the last two years, I still can't figure out which one it is now:
only certain nazis = bad
russia = nazis
trump = nazis
give moar money
it's all above my head and none of it's my business in the first place
it's all above my head and none of it's my business in the first place
or at least that what I say at BBQs and holiday events. I don't have the time or energy to bring everyone up to speed on my decades long journey through this warren of rabbit holes I find myself in.

Maybe the answer is all of the above?
f'n truth.
more and more i'm leaning towards:
