I don't disrespect the dead or the living, nor do I drag their memories through the mud. Don't preach to me, I've lost family members in wars too Big Mick. My family could honor their war dead going all the way back to WWI, but we don't. We never have, and never will. So get off your high and mighty war horse, and accept the fact that we don't all see the "rememberance" celebrations the same way.

Conscription sucks. War sucks. The idea of ennobling the fighting of rich men's wars sickens me, just as it did my father, who fought (by conscription) in WWII, and lost a brother in that war as well.

Inflicting pain, suffering, terror and disease on huge numbers of human beings in the name of "just war" doesn't fly with me, regardless of which side we are on. There is no "good" side in a war, period. And a whole lot of people DO NOT choose to remember their war dead in that way, or any sort of patriotic way at all.
