And, on a more international note, if somebody just mentions "the war," which war do you think of first?  I think that for most people it depends on their age because they'll think of either the first one in their lifetime or the first one they learned about when they were young.  I'm a 'Nam vet, but to me, the first war I'll always think of is going to be WW II because its after effects were still big when I was a child.  Yes, there was Korea when I was small, but it didn't have any impact on me, especially when compared to WW II.
