America: Come to fight for America! It's the duty of any patriot!

Nah that's ridiculous, you realize that the vast majority of veterans have never killed or harmed any women and children. Originally Posted by Thurspal

No you're obviously painting them with too broad of a brush. The vast majority of those veterans and helicopters that you mentioned have never hurt a civilian and can't be blamed for such. Originally Posted by Thurspal

That's not a realistic option for the West because China and Russia would take over as the world's military superpowers. Originally Posted by Amerissis

American veterans day? Since WWII, none of them deserve respect for what they did. Helping an imperial power stay in power is hardly a good thing. Feel pity for those who got drafted, but I have a lot more respect for draft dodgers.

Oh look hammer and sickle. Not surprised by your comment at all. Also lol at the irony in your comment considering Stalin was allowed to stay in power well after the war even though he had more people killed than Hitler. Originally Posted by CommunismWillWin

Best way to respect them is to remember the sacrifices they made and/or give them a discount. Lowes gives all veterans a 10% discount on all non sale purchases. 5% on items on sale or clearance. Our local dentist will be giving a 20% discount for the whole month of November to veterans. JoAnn fabric stores, give veterans a 15% discount all year long. Originally Posted by Doctor Amadeus

Well, if we need to split hairs, i'd argue the best way to honor the people sacrificing their lives would be to cover their medical expenses instead of hoping for private charity. That would show that you (as the population, not individuals) would really care, instead of "thoughts and prayers" Originally Posted by Ghostpanther

Likewise. Thanks for the positive words, and thanks back to you as well. Originally Posted by Ghostpanther
