""I accept defeat.
We can not honour our fallen without also saying that war is always wrong, therefor they were wrong to fight.
And we must give equal honour to the aggressors who died trying to kill them and enslave their homeland.

Once again Keith, you completely miss the point.

NOBODY, least of all ME, is saying they were wrong to fight!!

They did what they were sworn to do when they joined.

The bastards that sent them, and others, to the wrong wars for the wrong reasons are the villains of the piece, and if you can't see the difference between that and disrespect for the gallant men who did the dying, then you are as f**ked up as the politicos who still believe that we will tamely swallow their lies.

As to your "wrong thread" comment, where better to protest on their behalf than a place where we are acknowledging their sacrifice in OUR behalf?
