Quote:OK, I am a Boomer, and I have run from many pointless fights in my timeMore power to you. Patriotism is looking out for your country. Physical combat can be one avenue to do so if the fight is worth it, but
1) This is the exception rather than the rule. you can also look out for your country by starting a small business, adopting children, planting trees, teaching martial arts...there are a thousand perfectly reasonable ways to do this. The kinds of people who sit around on a forum about historical cycles are not generally going to have the type of temperament which thrives in a warzone (and this includes me).
2) As you imply, most of the time it's pointless, worse than pointless in fact, and even when there is a point, it's often difficult to know in advance.
