The United States of America has often been involved in a number of back-to-back wars, such as World War I (1914–1918) and the Russian Civil War (1918–1920). Often members of the military who participated in one war and experienced its horror were resistant to become involved in the next. As the French and Indian War (1754–1763) was followed in relatively quick succession by the American Revolutionary War (1775–1783), many who fought in the former weren’t exactly thrilled about becoming involved in the latter. The 2000 war drama “The Patriot” illustrates this resistance to continual warfare—at least initially.
