Drang it...

I mentioned Ia Drang the other day. A perspective from an officer who was there...

The military is a good deal until you have to go to war. But even then, some enjoy it. I remember an anecdote from Bill Bryson's A Short History of Nearly Everything. Some famous scientist, I can't remember who, had gone to war as a young man, and really enjoyed all the killing he got to do.

There was a saying something like:
"The only people who think war is a glorious adventure are those who have never been in one."
(BTW, interesting video history)
