For the Love of Life: Sacrifice v. Remembrance/Veterans Day

[voiceforveterans]

There's no big difference between the two if we talk about a veteran's heroism.

[sugarpuddin88]

Veterans Disarmament Act is now Law

Congress knows that bloodshed is inevitable in America given the outstanding debt & rapid collapse of the US Dollar. They also know Veterans will likely be the first to stand up against Gov tyranny through guerrilla Warfare.

Basically, Veterans names are now being put into the Brady Instant Check Data Base to block Veterans from being allowed to own or carry guns of any type

Moreover, Obama he wont bring soldiers home; diminishes vet benefits

i dont see how you equate canadians shooting europeans with freedom. there really is no correlation at all whatsoever.

[PaulMcKeever]

You're actually saying you see no correlation between killing Nazis, and freedom?

[lonewolf1369]

who helped fund and bring Nazis to power? Prescott Bush and other Wall Street hacks, and Paul Warburg, the Jewish director of IG Farben the chemical company. You also fail to see that Hitler became popular because of WW1, which was nothing about "freedom" but about fanatic "nationalism" and war romanticism. Hitler became popular because for some odd reason the Paris Peace Conference was dominated by Jews as the highest cabinet members of Germany. Hitler didn't even want to fight Britain

"Rumors about the alleged Nazi 'ties' of the late Prescott Bush ... have circulated widely through the internet in recent years. These charges are untenable and politically motivated. Despite some early financial dealings between Prescott Bush and a Nazi industrialist named Fritz Thyssen (who was arrested by the Nazi regime in 1938 and imprisoned during the war), Prescott Bush was neither a Nazi nor a Nazi sympathizer."

[senselessbattery]

I am interested in your choice of words. Why use "Europeans?"

In this context, all that seems relevent to me is that there was an aggressor. Defending oneself against an aggressor is fighting for freedom.

What does it matter that the aggressor was European?

Where you making a point?

I am not sure vloging and driving are safe to do at the same time.

[PaulMcKeever]

Have you never thought while driving? Spoken?

Wear Your Poppy With Pride.

[PaulMcKeever]

I wear it in admiration.

[WickedWilmes]

Totally agree with the focus on courage &values and not on sacrifice. Sacrifice is immoral.

I remember visiting the US cemetery in the netherlands of the soldiers died in the 1944 invasion. Infinite rows of white crosses. And I felt awkward above all. Awkward at the thought that I would need to sacrifice my own life for others too to pay back.. clearly not the right way to see it. The only note I make is that those were drafted soldiers most. So it was not out of free choice for all to fight.

[YorkshireSnave]

not out of free choice but out of free choice to defend there freedom and there home and there people

Catch 22 is a pretty good alternative view of war as is "War is a racket" by General Smedley Butler, the man that Prescott Bush, Rockefeller, the Dulles brothers and a sizeable part of American industry wanted to be the American Hitler.

See BBC radio programme "The Whitehouse Coup "

[eric144144]

The idea that the average soldier in Britain fought for liberty in WW2 just isn't true. The concept of the just war is an invention of the state that has been used in every single war in history.

How many bodies lie under the tomb of the unknown general, politician, arms manufacturer, or any kind of manufacturer ?

[obmax1212]

Remember who caused that war. It wasn't the British, it was the Nazis.

[atk66]

Unwilling to live in slavery, they fought knowing they might die. 

Superb.

[PaulMcKeever]

Right back at ya! Cheers.

[ManWorship]

When in Reverent Remembrance of our forebears that fought and thought for Man's future freedom. For that one solemn moment be proud of them and of your pride.

Don't bow your head - raise it - "To The Glory Of Man"

*Thanks for the occasion MrPaulMcKeever*

"When she had gone upstairs, he walked to a window and stood looking up at the sky. His head thrown back, he felt the pull of his throat muscles and he wondered whether the particular solemnity of looking at the sky comes, not from what one contemplates, but from that uplift of one's head."
