More than anything, I want to see you. White Flag....TRUCE!
Isn't is absurd?
This has been such a long time.
There is nothing glorious about war and there was nothing glorious about the way either of us were treated in this absurd waste of life....time. This is not the way life should go. People/entities  with their own best self-interest concoct these idiotic rules. We are their puppets.
Time is precious. Life is short.

Context:
The American Civil War lasted 4 years. WWI was 4 years. The Korean war was just over 3 years. WWII was six.
