Glorifying War

In addition to the many obvious horrors associated with the Russian bombardment of Ukraine, there comes a hidden one: the glorification of war.  We see countless images of old ladies and preteens with machine guns, farmers towing away armored tanks, and Miss Ukraine in battle fatigues, and we think collectively how cool and brave all this is.

True, this invasion, unlike many, is the epitome of good versus evil, but it’s terrifying to think what this is doing to the world population in terms of riveting into place the concept of war as the go-to means of resolving our differences.
