"Civil War Re-Enacted in Pioneer Park" -news item

     As a former combatant in a very real war
I remain perplexed whenever I encounter war portrayed as theater, entertainment, or anything "fun".  Simple regard the present state of video games.
    War is a hideous business, as anyone will attest who's been sullied by the viscera of comrades, or had one breathe his last in his arms.
    With all the sublimity that surrounds us on this blue planet, I can't help but wonder why we go to the lengths we do to rehearse and recreate- thus legitimating- the next river of blood.
