Reply #2: Great Film Segments -

[swilton]

But anti-war activists have seen this/these connection/(s) all along - the segments don't answer the 'so what' question. Or what is the common denominator over the decades?? - Both conflicts are asymmetric wars - where one adversary possesses a dominance in resources and technology...what is the common denominator? Is it lust for power and resources? Imperialism? Hubris? Inability to resist the military industrial complex?

This video seems to be a presentation of interesting video clips but fails to have a message - wouldn't there be analogous clips in other conflicts - i.e., WWII where innocent children were killed. Similarly, in the American Civil War one can find black and white photographs of soldiers experiencing camaraderie similar to the photographs of these wars in Afghanistan, Iraq and Vietnam.

Where's the beef?
