Gregg's father, Ramon
Losinski in the U.S. Air
Force, Korean War.
hard part is that war has simultaneously become
both more personal and impersonal. Many conflicts
lack an enemy that wears any type of uniform,
so anyone is a possible threat. Drones have made
it possible to be killed by something unseen and
possibly operated by someone on the other side of
the globe.
Human nature is an incredibly complex thing,
and right and wrong can be difficult to decipher
when you start to peel back all the layers of
the geopolitical onion. The magnitude of the
destruction possible by our weaponry has certainly
escalated over time, but the basic human emotions
that are the drivers of everything have not changed.
As a child in school, I took part in the duck and
cover nuclear bomb drills, something children in
Ukraine do for real today. If only something as
simple as a school desk could protect us from all
the harm that is out there in the world. Hopefully,
schools and families are helping to educate future
generations to be able to work out problems
without armed conflicts. Clearly, we still have a
long way to go, and can't give up. Maybe we can't
completely change our nature, but hopefully, we
can temper it so that kids don't grow up fearing or
hoping to go to war.
