My son the other day asked about this, are we forgetting that war is awfull? I am a current Air Force member who was in Kuwait in Desert Storm in 91. I've seen broken bodies and destroyed vechicals and lives. I am also a full time firefighter and know just what a plane crash can do to a body.
During the last year when we went to war with Iraq i couldn't even look at a military model. I instead concentrated on model railroad construction.
All of my models feature soliders at rest, playing cards, eating, the 98% of what normally takes up a soliders life. I look at peoples pieces of battle scenes and feel, i don't know, like perhaps my son may be right in those cases.
All in all i am back to doing military models again, and feel that it is mearly history in minuture that i am creating.
Anyway, i've babbled on long enough, what are your thoughts on the subject. Perhaps i am off base, still i love creating models.
