And Big Mick, I suffer no delusions about my family suffering more than most, so that comment was just as way off as your original and subsequent post. We made no sacrifices. The conscripts were merely doing what the law required them to do. No one in my family views military service as a sacrifice, because it isn't. That sort of language is just more glorification of nationalist war sentiments, and manipulating the grief of soldier's survivors by the patriot propagandists.

The "fuck you" was for having the gall to suggest to a complete stranger that they spit on soldiers returning from war. Your arrogance about your view and opinion being more right than mine, and your presumption about a total stranger, made that a REALLY WAY OFF comment. You get as good as you give. What you gave me was a "fuck you" without using the actual words.

If you want to know why my response to you has been so strong, I suggest you reread your own original response to me.
