65 years on, has the world learned anything from the sacrifices of the generations that fought in the Second World War?
Probably not.
Look at Vietnam. Iraq. Afghanistan. And Iraq again.
When the world realizes that there is no such thing as controlled conflict escalation, then there will be proper peace. War is final, there is no reality check: it is reality, in all its harshness.
My silent salute goes out to those to fought, bled, and died in the name of liberation from unbridled evil sixty-five years ago on the soggy beaches of Normandy.
