Siempre me ha parecido significativo que hoy en día, si no me equivoco, los líderes políticos nunca envíe envían a sus propios hijos a la guerra mientras nos tratan de convencer de la abrumadora necesidad de la dichosa dicha guerra.

It has always seemed noteworthy to me that nowadays, unless I am mistaken, political leaders never send their own sons and daughters to war whilst trying to convince us of the overwhelming necessity of said war.

What I originally put means 'darn war' or something like that - a slip of memory with the word (Or a Freudian slip maybe, as I hate war..).! Correctedconjugation of 'enviar' and 'tratar'! Any other mistakes?
