What I am saying is that having it on now sort of may glorify the idea of war to people but not if people watch it since there is a lot of things (as Burn's mentioned last night on Bill Maher's show) that people were reluctant to talk about until now.
Maher and Burns talked about "sacrifice" last night and how we've not "sacrificed" anything for Iraq. Well first off ask the families who've lost loved ones during the Iraqi conquest about that. Secondly my reply is we shouldn't be making any sacrifice as there shouldn't be any war to sacrifice for. That's just the scheme of the crooks in the White House and of course their backers. They're the ones who should be sacrificed. Also we must keep in mind as was pointed out in episode two of the series that coming out of a depression WWII was like a big WPA project and many jobs opened up for the unemployed. And also it will be interesting to see if they also mention how unemployment went on the rise again after the war when those jobs went away.
