My dad and uncle were veterans of WW II.

Would you suggest that they stayed home? That we should not honor their service?

That the Union soldiers who gave their lives to keep our country together should not be honored?

That the American Revolutionaries and their soldiers should have just capitulated to King George?

Yes, we've had fucked up wars that should never have been fought, the latest is a prime example.

But to dishonor the people who fought them in our name is despicable. You should reserve your vilification for their civilian leaders instead.

Memorial Day is to honor those who fought and died for your freedom. I'm as left politically as they come, but I'm not stupid.
