Just makes me think how many articles there must have been in the 1940s about how going to war with Germany was “worse” than just letting Germany take over Europe.

It really is exhausting to fight a war when so many pundits opine about why we are even bothering.

It’s like Vietnam. But stupider.
“Why cares whether Vietnam becomes communist” is a much more reasonable question (in retrospect) than “who cares if 1-2% of Americans die this year?”
Or “who cares whether 10% of Americans spend 2-4 weeks in the hospital this year with pneumonia?”

Like...how do folks think the economy would cope with that pickle?
