Not bad observations, Carl

Since the war would be so much closer to the American heartland, our hearts would be more into the war, and we'd fight a lot harder. In fact, we lost far more soldiers killed during the Civil War (per capita) than we did during Vietnam....Since the Civil war was fought on US soil by US citizens, both sides were equally willing to continue the fighting. By contrast, Vietnam was fought only on Vietnamese soil, so the US was less willing than the Vietnamese.

Tell me, why do you never apply them to the Israelis, to whom they apply equally? The Israelis aren't fighting for some colony, they are fighting for their homes.
