The month of November

When did they fight for such things as freedom and liberty?

Beat me to it

I have nothing but respect for US military veterans. BUT.

These days, our (I mean American) vets are not dying for freedom, liberty or even an ideology. They are dying because of wall street first, and W's "some guy shot at ma pah!" mentality second. I do not denigrate the troops in the least. But they should not be risking their lives for such crap reasons.

Alright, I am going to catch heat for this, I know. But still.
Advance apologies for the trolling, but it is really the way I feel.
I am a veteran, 2/4 of my parents children are veterans, over half my high-school male buddies are veterans. I come from a long line of veterans, at least 4 generations running. I have nothing but respect for US military veterans. BUT.

Flame on!

When did they fight for such things as freedom and liberty?And they are fighting for an ideology, the one with the underlined words.

Money and family are not ideology.

Hey, guys, all politics and ideology aside, I think we can all come together and agree that November 11th is MY BIRTHDAY and is therefore very much worth celebrating.

[Gauteamus]

Der ewige Friede ist ein Traum, und nicht einmal ein schöner, und der Krieg ist ein Glied in Gottes Weltordnung. In ihm entfalten sich die edelsten Tugenden des Menschen, Mut und Entsagung, Pflichttreue und Opferwilligkeit mit Einsetzung des Lebens. Ohne den Krieg würde die Welt im Materialismus versumpfen.

[...] Anyone, private citizens, who resort to force, is a monster. That is what makes me condemn and despise them.
