Does war pay off?

->Five people in the kitchen having dinner and discussing about the Vietnam War. I figured I should write about an old war. A war is just a war<-.
-------------------------------
Brad-It's such a shame a kid has to die for basically no reason.

Mr. Jack-I don't think it's meaningless when a young man dies for freedom.

Brad-I just had a little travel just to find dying for government that represses its citizens...

Mr. Jack-What the hell is that supposed to mean?

Judy-It means that the USA government is responsible for the oppression of blacks, women, free speech...

Mr. Jack-...or perhaps, little lady, you would like to live in Russia for a while. I have to believe that freedom and democracy are worth the price. That's what Vietnam is all about.

Brad-No, Man. That's what they brainwashed you to believe it is. I think the ones who support the war in Vietnam are having the wool pulled over their eyes. Just like they did in Korea...

Mr. Jack-What the hell do you know about Korea? I was in Korea and lost a lot of good friends there.

Judy-Dad, it doesn't have anything to do with what we were saying.

Mr. Jack -and they weren't brainwashed. They were brave man who weren't afraid to fight for what they believed in. You are afraid to fight...why don't you just say...why don't you just admit you are a chicken?

Brad-You are damn right. I am a chicken. I don't want to die like your friends. What do you think you achieved over there? Do you think those people are free? No man, except for Coca-cola. You were used man, your friends were used.

Mr. Jack-That's crap!!!

Kevin and Paul-Calm down daddy...

Judy-Dad, you never listen to what we say, but what we say is true.

Brian-Don't accept all this death and justify it. It is wrong! Your friends should be alive. They should be enjoying dinner and arguing with their kids just like you are.

Mr. Jack-How do you know about it? Who the hell are you to say that?

Brian-Do you see this man? This is my draft notice. In two weeks I can go to jail, I can go to Canada or I can go get shot full of holes like your friends. You keep thinking the way you do Mr. Jack, and these two will be the next ones. I just hope that's what they want. Excuse me...
