On the other hand, it's not entirely their fault due to drafts. Sorry but it's true, all war is bullshit, I agree people deserve to be rewarded for their deeds towards their nations. But nationalism is fucking bullshit. So feel free to derep me for being a conscientious objector. Link to comment

It's one of the rights we are able to have because of these vets though, so all you need to do is show your respect. 1 Link to comment

No, it's a celebration of people who had the balls to do something that not only needs to be done, but that over 98% of the (American) population won't do. It's about them putting themselves on the line in the first place, it doesn't have to be about the "battles" they've been in. I have no problems with people "voicing" their opinions, just don't be ignorant about it. Link to comment

Today is Veteran's day; it's the day that World War I ended. And yes, we have several veterans on the forums: Jewp, Cloud, Tank, and a couple other regs / sups that I can't recall. And DDIS. =p I had a great day today. The main street of my town was closed off and about 400 people around our memorial statue. Link to comment

Most americans nowadays know our wars are for government interest, why die for some other bastards country when our own country is hurting? Link to comment
