    Man, that’s a uniquely disgusting way to remember the folks killed to save their country and other countries from domination.

    You might try and fuck off with that attitude for one day

      I never said they are not useful or necessary. But I refuse to consider murder to be something heroic. Now if your moral structure allows you to consider that killing can be good, I just hope for you that people who don’t like you don’t think the same.

      I mean you have a very filtered view on American wars. Almost none of them were in order to save America and didn’t result in a better situation for the country.

        And most of the WW2 vets are dead so this old geezer was in Korea or Vietnam.

        If he was enlisted, fair enough, probably got drafted as a slave soldier for capitalism, but officers are almost always volunteers.
