super.. super post James...but..
no history is "meaningless" ( I know what you meant.. )...if it becomes such...as the man said... we are doomed to endlessly repeat it.. but then... isn't that what happened all over the 20th century from WW1 to WW2 and from Dien Bien Phu to Khe Sanh....
I really liked the last line...
Here's the good news in case you never got it:The war is over--you can go home now.
Thanks,
Larry
