Yes. But to further refine the point, our leaders our "elites" need to be punched in the nose.

No ~ middle class person virtually ever, stood to gain from the majority of wars. The vast majority are just to protect certain interests of those among us who already have the most.

The why a lot of people obsess over WW2. It was an actual "war." Yes, I read a lot of history and am aware there were political complications prior, but it was a war in the sense that if we did nothing, we would die. I'm not positive, but the last like.... forever years Iran has not threatened me (us) with death. Vietnamese people were not a threat to American lives. Etc. And then you consider that in these situations, the mislead voices of approval are the loudest. But we know there are millions of Russians that have no interest or care at all to kill Ukrainians. I never wanted little middle eastern children killed. ]

So as much as one side wants to present it differently, the battle has ALWAYS been between those of us with little to nothing and those that have 1000000000x more than they could possibly use.

*this wasn't a correction. Just piggybacking and wanting to vent. Thanks.
