Yes, thank you my brethren, thank you for signing up to get your heads blown off because the government promised you a life full of money. Thank you for setting your morals aside for materialism, thank you for dying for a country that not only wouldn't die for you, but wouldn't lift a finger to give you or your family healthcare like ALL of the other 31 developed countries have. Thank you for taking the easy route out of highschool (or middle school) and doing what you're told because you don't have a creative bone in your body. Thank you for killing millions of innocent little brown people because our own government flew planes into ourselves and lied to you about it. Thank you, for "defending" our freedoms that haven't been threatened by an outside source since WWII. Thank you, for being a bunch of useful idiots. The only purpose military should serve is to defend, not to go halfway across the world and offend people because our government killed our own people and we want to believe there is a race of bad guys across the ocean that's responsible. Thank you, so much.

There were those, there are those, drinking sweat, eating dirt, getting shot at, and blown up for not just one day or one war on some no name battle field long forgotten by most though out the centuries of this country.
I haven't forgotten Memorial Day, most people have.
They signed up for it, to shoot or be shot. It's not like you sign up and they tell you "were going to be chasing rainbows", no they tell you that you will have to "Kill" other people, straight and simple. They don't even hide it, as soon as you go and start signing up, the first thing they ask is, "you know that you will have to kill other's?".
Making heroes out of criminals, what kind of lessons are you people teaching our younger generation?
I agree with you but we can't apply this to the wars where our ancestors were drafted and forced into service like vietnam and WWII.

Didn't have anyone in your family who was forced (drafted) to fight in some American war. Point well taken for the young cool guys who think they are tough and like guns.

But remembering such horrible days and years even, I can't see how that benefits anybody, especially younger generations.
The 2010 Census showed that the U.S. population on April 1, 2010, was 308.7 million.
Out of the total U.S. population, 2.9 million people, or 0.9 percent, reported American Indian or Alaska Native alone. In addition, 2.3 million people, or another 0.7 percent, reported American Indian or Alaska Native in combination with one or more other races. Together, these two groups totaled 5.2 million people. Thus, 1.7 percent of all people in the United States identified as American Indian or Alaska Native, either alone or in combination with one or more other races.

Those men could have easily dropped their weapons, that includes both sides. They could have easily taken off their uniforms, give a big and nice finger to the generals and do jail time instead, jail time for not killing other people.
I agree we cannot label them as criminals, even my grandfather said it was hard not to shoot back because more then half the time if you were to retreat, your own people would shoot you, and more then half the time, you had no idea who was shooting at you.
But remembering such horrible days and years even, I can't see how that benefits anybody, especially younger generations.

No! Honor those who never made it home on Memorial Day.
Veteran's Day is the day to honor us.
Maybe we can reach Al'Qaeda through my speech
Let the President answer a higher anarchy
Strap him with an AK-47, let him go
Fight his own war, let him impress daddy that way
No more blood for oil, we got our own battles
To fight on our own soil, no more psychological warfare
To trick us to thinking we ain't loyal
If we don't serve our own country we're patronizing a hero

Polictians are alll that way. You haven't noticed yet? Which planet you on

Q: "What if the threw a war, and nobody came?"
A: You'd get overrun in pretty short order.
Sleep tight tonight. There's a reason you can, and it's not through your own effort apparently. It's because someone ELSE was willing to "sign up" and stand in the gap for you, and fall if necessary.
Many of them did just that - fall. It's not a video game, and there aren't any respawns. they're permanently dead.
Spit at us "criminals" all you please. We KNOW why you can sleep at night. We know, because we've seen. You apparently haven't. I'd call that a job well done.
