<p>[quote user="Ulrich"]The other thing I found interesting is that so many vets would even want to attend the reunion. That was a brutal war, not your push button annihilation warfare of today. Soldiers on both sides would have witnessed their comrades disemboweled, dismembered, and worse. Families were torn apart...cities on both sides destroyed. It is surprising that so many of those vets from both sides would have wanted to attend.[/quote]</p> <p><span style="font-family:verdana,geneva;font-size:small;">I would say that they were not actually celebrating the evils of the war. Instead, they were celebrating their bond with each other that resulted from facing those evils together.</span> </p>
