How many of us veterans think we're heading for a new age civil war?

New age civil war? No for the following reasons:
- The dictionary defines civil war as: a war between political factions or regions within the same country. War is further defined as: a conflict carried on by force of arms.
- The US has a history and tradition of settling our political conflicts short of war via elections, judicial decisions, and simple movement (move to a different area or state that better mirrors an individual's viewpoint).
- Does the above mean there will not be political conflict or possible cases of violence? Of course not but I do not see the current issues facing our nation rising to the level of civil war.

SFC Richard Giles We all experience good and bad times over our lifetimes. We will not have a civil war.

I have to agree with COL Smallfield.
