Most people involved with those activities are trying to relive a
"golden
age" of some sort. WW2 was the last "pure" war, with good and evil
facing
off in a fight to the finish (yes, the Soviets weren't "good", but you
get
the idea). Today's world is largely unsatisfactory to some people, and
instead of working to make it better, they try to relive the past.

Surely you jest. All war is an abomination and there is nothing "pure"
about it. You do what you have to do in a war and move on.


I merely repeat what various commentators and civilians have said. I have
heard WW2 called the "last good war" many times, almost always by people who
don't have degrees in history or who have never been shot at.
