I wish the US still called it Armistice Day. Armistice is something I can really get behind. Here it is Veteran's Day, and you are supposed to celebrate having been in a war rather than having gotten out of one, which I find sad, reprehensible, and both sadly and reprehensibly unsurprising for Americans.

I don't support the troops, as we are supposed to call what used to be called individual soldiers but you can't say soldier generically to include non-infantry apparently nowadays but using troop to mean a person is downright silly instead, who volunteered to go kill people who are vaguely associated with terrorism. I would support those who volunteer to go fight ebola, but haven't seen a surge in that yet.

But I absolutely celebrate the end of individual wars. Let's end more of them, and have more celebrations of that.
