Good stuff, Rap!
Even though this seems to be a "troll" thread, asking such a stunned question, I feel a NEED to post.
On November 11, at the eleventh hour, I shall watch my uncle, 87, march in. I will remember also my father and four of his five sisters. One brother was too young, one sister was married.
None of them questioned the politicians. They volunteered to serve their country. They knew that what they were doing was right. They trusted the powers that were.
Today, the same men and women serve. Some questions have been cast on the politicians. More and more, these questions are being cast. More and more....
But, questions or no, those who serve will always be celebrated and thanked... for those who are willing to fight for freedom for their fellow man are the only hope for our fellow man... and ourselves.
Call that hokey shit if you want, but freedom for the masses never came without a fight.
In Flander's Field... lest we forget.
