Many of the more positive pieces I have posted have been based on tradition, notably family tradition. Usually in Rome. This one is not.
Just because something has "always" been done in a certain way does not make it correct, even if it does become a tradition. And, this particular tradition is one I loath. It is a universal one, world-wide and open ended on the time scale.
Every nation know to man either has or had an army...trained to kill. At a cost beyond recognition, tolerance, acceptance. The cost in terms of dollars and cents maybe.
In anguish...unfathomable! And in the end...
When Johnny comes Marching Home? Not ONE penny to reintroduce him to normalcy! Ah, that's a wonderful tradition!
