I see that the younger crowd is starting to idealize the 90s in earnest. I’m glad. Not because of the music or the culture (even though I loves me some NIN). But because I can remember a time when my country wasn’t at war.

I’m not a fool. We were always bombing people. We were always carrying out special operations. But it wasn’t this wholesale slaughter. And no one thought that being at war was normal.

Can we get that attitude back?
