Posts » Civilian memory of war
In the light of recent events, where USA captured Venezuelan dictator Maduro, I would like to point something - the majority of US citizens lack civilian memory of what a war is. For the past 160 years (let’s spare Pearl Harbor which didn’t happen in mainland USA), there has been no armed conflict on US soil.
For them wars are fought elsewhere. They have never heard from their parents or grandparents about war atrocities in the very place they live.
Elsewhere wars are either a reality, a living memory or something you are constantly reminded of by scars of the past.
And those scars don’t heal in a generation or two.
So don’t sow what you don’t understand.
