        Yeah I actually think this is literally why. As a species we can write things down all we want but we struggle to truly understand things we didn’t experience.

      America is involved in waaay more than a war every 80yrs.

      There was Irak, Afghanistan, Kuwait, and Vietnam at the very least.
