You are, once again, misreading me. I did not, and was not, attempting to
dismiss the sacrifices made in *any* war with my post. But I did not, and
do not, consider a war something to be *proud* of. We should be proud of
the people who fought in those wars, terribly proud, and terribly humbled
by as well; but we should not be proud of killing the people of other
nations. It's not an accomplishment. At the best, it is a necessary evil.
That was all I was saying in that original post; the twist to make it
seem that I despise veterans is an invention of your own.

If anyone needs to be apologizing here, it's not me. I'm not the one
playing terms lawyer and taking a simple debate as an excuse to launch
personal attacks.

Sorry, I read the post, but as I believe I've mentioned I'm allergic to
propaganda and it made me break out in hives halfway through.
