#random Among the enduring memories of childhood were the Wars raging c1990/1991: Gulf War, and the Liberian Civil War. I was 9 at the time; clearly remember these names: Norman Schwarzkopf, and Tayo Awotusin and Krees Imodibe. May their souls continue to Rest In Peace.
The Cold War too loomed large. Reflexive acceptance that there were the good guys (Allied Forces) ranged against the bad (Soviet Union).
Closer home, ECOMOG vs Charles Taylor/Samuel Doe/etc.
