revolutionary war, war of 1812, Spanish American war,American civil war, ww1, ww2. That was when people had morals, a foundation, structure, respect for others and property. So how did we fair in them conflicts, and how strong was our country. NOW, lets fast forward, Korean war, Vietnam, the cold war, the middle east, and look at our country today. Highly in dept, morality is gone, people voting in Commander in Chiefs that has never smelled military. They vote the popular vote and want something for nothing. Liberal way of thinking is making our country weak and all that fought and died in all the conflicts combined has done so in vain. I am a history major and retired Naval Aviator and it makes me sick.
