Johannes, comparing the average soldier in the Gulf War with the average Confederate's reason to fight misses the mark in a very important way. We had no intention of occupying Kuwait or Iraq and the battles were fought in places like Vicksburg, Richmond, Bull Run and Murfreesboro....in others words "Home". Mankind has many varied reasons to become involved in the military and some of them are even rational.....but when it involves your homeland, caulking it up to curiosity, boredom or machismo may very well miss the point.
