Incidentally, they also died so that you and I could live to a ripe old
age and die a relatively meaningless death in bed. For this they deserve
our deepest gratitude. These memorials simply annoy the Iraq war
veterans that I know, and I do know a few.
BEING an Iraq War Veteran, it doesn't annoy me at all.
Nor does it annoy any of the veterans I know, even the ones who do still
believe we are accomplishing something in Iraq.
War is bad, but unfortunately sometimes necessary.
But it does not honor the soldier to send him or her to war on false
pretense.
Particularly a war for PROFIT espoused by those who never have, nor ever
will, sacrifice anything themselves in pursuit of that war.
