About the war, please explain this to me?

Question

Why is that relatives of a soldier who's in the war are supportive of the war until the soldier is injured or killed and then they become against it?

Answer 1

Same reason so many military people hate Jane Fonda......When bad things happen.....people NEED someone to blame.... there are a lot of reasons for the Vietnam fiasco.....but blaming Jane Fonda is more satisfying.

The parents support their sons and daughters..... when those sons and daughters die.....they need someone or something to blame other than themselves..... some blame the terrorist......some blame the government

Answer 2

A lot of people see war as something romantic and exciting. They have no concept of what it is REALLY like. they carry the flag on their shoulder like a proud peacock but when it comes time to pay the price for their freedom( wounde/ killed soldiers) they sing a different tune. they are totally confused abot the facts.
