Tough questions

I deeply, sincerely feel we should remember our war dead, every man or woman who died did so in good faith. What we have to ask ourselves is did they die for a good cause?

What did the dead from the Korean War earn us? Vietnam? Iraq? Afghanistan? What will the next war earn us?

Take a moment to deeply consider if we are asking such noble sacrifice for less than noble purposes.
