What strikes me about this is that a nation of former empire, already soundly defeated in a similar war a long time ago, has reached deep into what remains of its world-wide collection of fealties to summon up mere handfuls of an island sea-faring people whose culture is radically different than that of Britain, the US, or the Pashtun, to fight a war they could give two rats' asses about almost halfway around the globe at an altitude unfathomable to folks who live on a small collection of atolls but who can navigate the wide seas of the Pacific based on cultural learning.

How many people(s), from how far away, must we summons to fight, perchance to die and for what reason?
