(71,265 posts)I do agree that people overreacted in the thread on the unknown soldier. As an anti-war person I share your dislike of the glorification of war. I do however believe that we should always appreciate the people who serve this country in the armed forces as I believe you do. This is an interesting topic that can get messy as it did in here. Discussion is good. A larger discussion in this country about the war machine that sends people to war really needs to be discussed. The men and women of the armed forces should always be honored in anyway possible by the people of this country. There are many ways, but the best way is to make sure that you use force only when we need to. Discussion with respect on this issue is good, and that is what I think the OP intended. Good topic quinnox.
God bless the men and women of our armed forces and God bless those who are victims of war.
