There's people who were against the war starting, and there's the people who supported it at first but wanted out after years of bloodshed
Kind of like Vietnam again, except I feel like the original antiwar folks mostly gave up, leaving a strange sort of Republican antiwar group leading the protest.
I daresay this isn't news though. Just wanted to get my own thoughts in order. As you were.

I protested against the Afghanistan and Iraq wars
but once we'd committed it stood to reason that we'd have to pull a Germany/Japan and stay there forever.
Sadly, unlike in Japan/Germany we decided the best policy was to act as terrorists.
The empowerment of women, the return of music and culture, both excellent. Worth the price? It might have been arguable up to a couple of weeks ago, but now it's all gone to shit.

I don't think you understand how to use the word analogy.

Will you tell me what my Germany/Japan analogy is?

I first met my wife at an anti war protest in the 2000s.
The popular opinion pendulum swung so far behind the various wars in the decade after that, we ended up a bit scared to mention it in public.
It all seems a bit cirular and repetitive. I'll be getting my 1990s clothes out the back of the wardrobe soon, I reckon.

You shouldn’t be shy about mentioning that.
It’s certainly a lot more wholesome than “We met at a VD clinic.”

I know I *shouldn't* be shy about it
- but as much I as try not to, the company I work for means I spend a lot of time working with ex-military types and defence contractors.
