I am well aware of those arguments. I was merely trying to point out that when we say that wars were fought for “nothing”, we discredit and dishonour the sacrifices that all servicemen and servicewomen have made. On this day, especially, we would best remember what these people have lost in the service of all of us.

What dishonors them more: Having sons and daughters die to accumulate resource wealth for political powers, and that under false political pretenses, or openly admitting they died for nothing so we can change it, even if it offends those whose world view is shaped by the theatrical sentimentality of Hollywood, and Pentagon propaganda? I’ll do them the service of choosing the second.
