Wars don’t change except in name;
The next one must go just the same,
And new foul tricks unguessed before
Will win and justify this War.
-Robert Graves, "The Next War"

Glory does not engulf those who are today's subject, just maggots and worms who devour their bones.

There is a difference between defending yourself and your country and making a pre-emptive strike on another country for no clear reason.

Then there are the others. When will we remember the thousands of Japanese that were disintegrated in a second? Those who suffered with cancer for years? 100,000 Iraqi civilians?

Today is not a day to buy furniture or roast marshmallows or praise honor and courage and sacrifice. Today is a day of mourning for ALL who have died, not just those who have won and are memorialized in a vision of superficial peace and tranquility.

Let me clarify for you.

Today IS a day to praise honor, courage, and sacrifice, however it has become a day to roast marshmallows, go camping, and buy furniture, because the average american is a tool.

It is not a day to remember the random assortmant of people we have slaughtered over the years. We dont have a day like that, because the general public doesnt understand the importance of dead people that are not us.
