Pam Feltus makes a good point on the one hand.  On the other hand, who
hasn't been exposed already to gory movies of war at its worst?

In the events of the last ten days, have we forgotten how in America we
glorify violence in so many ways, especially among our youth?

I am writing this wearing my naive optimist hat, one I hope never to lose:

After a Civil War battle, Robert E. Lee said "it is well that was should be
so terrible, or we would grow too fond of it." As a military museum person,
I've always held this as a central tenant of my vocation.
