Yeah, this war is free for most of us... no taxes, no victory gardens, no rationing, mostly someone else's children getting killed or maimed. You have to remind yourself we are at war, by giving up golf, saving resources where you can and praying for an end to the war.

  Rimbaud, when you said this war is free for most of us, I assume that was a joke.
  Three to six trillion dollars have been subtracted from the total worth of America; we pay for it now and for years to come; with a weak dollar, higher prices, fewer jobs, poorer cities, diminished futures for ourselves and our children.
  And there is a spiritual cost. America faces disunity and lack of direction, lack of belief.
  Giving up golf is not reminding yourself of the war; it is kidding oneself that there is no real cost; that it is a play of symbols.
  But the war has not been free for anyone in America. There is ALWAYS a price.
