watching Desert Storm on TV in 1991 and getting all excited.

Did you like the sequel?

Well, I watched the Vietnam War on TV often from about age 5 to age
15. (including post war footage)

How would you rate the graphic coverage?

So the 1991 Desert Storm was new and fresh, and the TV news stations
did an excellent job of making it all very exciting.

OK

"The Sequel" is not so good because it is not new. And many people

It would be very easy for me and many other people to love building
bazookas and tanks and making a lot of money from war, while enjoying
the battles and even helping to command them.
I have been doing that all my life. With Leggo and toy soldiers, then
with computer simulations.

Have you been involved in the real thing? If not, do you feel guilty
because you haven't been involved?
