It's high time that this total bollox and hypocrisy of "Remembrance"

Those who were killed set out with the intention of killing their
fellow man and received their just deserts, no more, no less.

The concept of "dieing for one's country" is just so much bull****.

Are the Niagara Falls any greater as the result of those who died
for them? Exactly.

If those who got killed were doing something noble, then surely the
actions of those who flew the jets into the World Trade Centre were
even more noble and to be more admired? Did they not die for
what they believed in? Exactly.

Like American beer...weak and bitter.

How long have you lived such a cold and miserable existance?

"Pax Americana is a philosophy. Hardly an empire.
Making sure other people play nice and dont kill each other (and us)
off in job lots is hardly empire building, particularly when you give
them self determination under "play nice" rules.

Think of it as having your older brother knock the **** out of you
for torturing the cat." Gunner
