Some volunteered because they were "saving democracy" -- by fighting in Europe. WWI and WWII.
At the Command and General Staff College, we read original Army History. They had to use a different font, for the German and American commanders, because so many of the Americans had German surnames.
The German people were subject to the Schuld, the Guilt, for decades. As though the Hitler / Nazi actions were THEIR fault AS Germans. When in reality, the American descendants of those same German families who were assigned to perpetual guilt and humiliation, defeated Hitler and Nazism. Too bad they were not allowed to defeat Stalinism at the same time.
When was the last good war? Probably the Revolution. The Civil War, should have been prevented, but the South just would not have peace. How they thought they could win?
There was a song written about that battle... No.1 with a bullet in my time. 😁
Ha! I can still sing that song! https://youtu.be/aXfuQqkwa5I?si=w1j2sz88zYgMPaYX
I love that! Used to have it pretty much memorized. I looked it up just now. [Recently on vacation I saw of photo commemorating it and started singing, a lady walking down the hallway took up the next verse!]
"In 1814 we took a little trip Along with Colonel Jackson down the mighty Mississip We took a little bacon and we took a little beans And we caught the bloody British in a town near New Orleans
[Chorus] We fired our guns and the British kept a-comin' There wasn't nigh as many as there was a while ago We fired once more and they begin to runnin' On down the Mississippi to the Gulf of Mexico"
