The 100th\u00a0anniversary of the signing of the Armistice to end World War I has generated a lot of discussion and articles about the so-called \u201cGreat War.\u201d<\/p>\n

Most of the neocon chickenhawks who so eagerly led us into the disastrous war in Iraq seemingly want to be regarded as modern-day Winston Churchills.<\/p>\n

It is also amazing how cavalier those who have never fought in war can be about sending others to fight and even be killed or maimed.<\/p>\n

It is a sad commentary on our recent history of unnecessary but seemingly permanent wars that the most anti-war president that we\u2019ve had in the last 70 years has been Dwight D. Eisenhower, a career military man and leader in World War II.<\/p>\n
