Is conflict less "fun"?

Yeah, remember back to the old days, when a poster of Che was a required staple of most revolutionaries... or revolutionary wannabes.

Remember the days when the US military actually shipped beer to the troops in Vietnam...

Now we have both sides pretty tight.

By the book at least, the insurgents have to be pure and all that.

I mean, they're saving themselves for their reward in paradise, right?

Well, think back to the good old days.

In 1964, a cuban delegation, headed by Che Guevara, came to Egypt to meet the fellow Egyptian "revolutionary" President Gamal Abdel Nasser. Upon their entrance of the Presidential Palace and meeting the Egyptian delegation, the Cuban delegation announced that they had a special gift to the Egyptian President. Two hot young Cuban girls, reportedly virgins, wearing really short dresses made from army fatigue fabric, stepped to the front. They were given Cuban tobacco leaves, and proceeded to roll 2 cigars on their naked thighs, and then gave them to the Egyptian President, as a genuine Cuban gift.

Those days are over, I guess.
