Anons as I write this please take a minute today and PRAY and Remember those who Served and are Serving today. More than anything today we owe thanks and gratitude to those who Served and also to Americas Greatest Generation for what they did for our Country and The World. The entire World owes them thanks. As I write this it brings tears to my eyes frens for their sacrifices to us and the world. If we would not have stop that evil it would be a very different world we would be living in today. So I salute them all and everyone of you who are fighting the good fight then and today.

Like many of us I question the historical narrative behind the war.
But given that, I think it's important that we remember that, for most of the people involved (probably on both sides), they believed in what they were fighting for.
The motivation was real. The sacrifice was real. The loss was real. It's even more of a tragedy that they were probably deceived and the loss and sacrifice was at least partially in vain.
I think we still owe them our gratitude and respect - the same way if someone sacrificed their life for you and it turned out you weren't really in danger doesn't negate that sacrifice.
What we owe most to them is to make sure it never happens again.
