Visiting Uncle Roy

October 20, 2009 – 4:20 pm

It’s not a better world for that war, Roy. What you did and how you died were preludes to more and worse for what would have been your children’s generation. But that’s not your fault, and we err so badly in thinking it pointless. You fought for good reasons. The slaughter of Americans on the sea, the fate of small nations, and the struggle of republics against empires: these principles, abused as they were, are still reasons for good men in a good fight.
