This is the nature of time. The more of it that marches on, the less we have to focus on any given moment.

The only problem is that we tend to forget what 'ENEMY' looks like, and what they did.

The 'touchey-feely' attitude that prevails in our culture has no idea what it was like to have "NO MILK" tatood on an arm!
What it was like to be sleeping, when a pile of MITSUBISHI aircraft 'sucker-punched' us!, when we were not 'involved' in a war.
