I see what you are saying, but I honestly disagree. To say that "anti-war bumph [bunk?]" has no place on Veterans' Day (as we call it here; it's for all veterans, not just the dead ones), is, to me, to say that we wish to glorify war, instead of recognizing the service of veterans for what it is -- a sacrifice. Not a lark; not glory. But a sacrifice.

I see nothing contradictory in saying that the service of veterans deserves respect, while trying to promote peace so that we end up having a whole lot fewer of them around. What better day?

If veterans perceive it as attack to say that you wish to prevent more people from dying in war, or suffering the mental and physical damage that many vets have, well, I don't know what to say to that. Perhaps they need to consider who their allies really are.
