World War Three had broken out in all its choatic glory, America versus the rest of the world.

No one knows for sure how it got started, but there are a lot of stories about how it could have gotten started.

After the end of a particularly awful battle, one soldier asked another, “How the heck did we get into this?”

The other man looked around, then turned to his compatriot. “Man, I’ve got a nephew in government. And he says our U.N. delegate’s blankee was stolen. No one knows who did it, so they’re blaming everyone.”

    I can imagine how this would be a possible. Breaking up “they took it” fights is never a fun one. ;)

    Great last paragraph! Sometimes, I do think it’s children who start wars, because they are often for stupid reasons.
