You are being too conservative with your reply. I think your
characterization is shared by many- Art has 2 main worldviews:

1) "I was there when the U.S. Made Europe Safe For Socialism therefore I
Am
An Expert In Everything"

and

2) "If You Weren't There You Have No Right To An Opinion On Anything"

The sad thing is, many of his generation are not as greedy, foolish, nor
self centered as he is. He doesn't realize just how irrational and self
absorbed he is. Johari Window strikes again. Guess that comes with a
draft. You certainly pick up the Good, Bad, adn Ugly in a draft . . .

The malady is common amoung those who have trouble forgiving the people they
killed. First the victim of the malady must let them be human. My father
got over WWII when Reagan walked through that SS graveyard. Those men he
had killed were "good soldiers" and they had no more choice in doing or
dieing than he did. My brother has pictures of the families of the people
he killed. (NVA) He got over Vietnam rapidly.
