  • With absolute honesty, I have to say I’ve not read the article just the headline and the first paragraph.

    I know far too many servicemen and servicewomen who came out mentally and physically damaged while watching their peers die. (It sucks but this day is to recognize and honor that)

    A good portion of them will agree with you on principal. They are the same people that will say this day is about those they lost who are not military in service to our country as well as those were military.

    If you’re in a hostile situation and you have your teams back, you have your teams back. It doesn’t matter what your role is.

    If your argument is to include people who are not in the line of fire, or are in a hostile area, this is not the day to make that argument. That comes off incredibly tasteless and insulting to those who are struggling with survivors guilt, 10, 20 and even 30 years after the fact.




  • No, not okay. The monkey puppet reaction.

    We are not shocked to learn we are the bad guys. I never said it’s okay, I just disagree with the reaction meme to indicate we didn’t know it.

    Not sure where you pulled “it’s okay because America” from my statement but no need to jump to conclusions and put words in peoples mouth.




  • I understand your point in the creator but I find fault in that argument.

    Historically it doesn’t matter what the creator of anything prefers unless it’s an “unveiling” and they name it on the spot. People in general will take something and run with it regardless of the creators intent. The perfect example is “light saber” versus “laser sword.” (Edit forgot to add the word sword after laser)

    To be honest I don’t care all that much. If you say jif or gift without the t, either way I know what you are talking about.
