It is because I am lottery winner that was lucky enough to have been born in a time and place that going to war was never a serious consideration as a young man, unlike almost every other young man of the past. The closest I had to get was watching my country blow things up on CNN.

A person in this situation can't help but to have a ridiculous, unrealistic perspective on war.
