I don't find much to celebrate on Veteran's Day. Instead I see much to mourn. War is not to be celebrated, it is a blight on human existence. Celebrating it is to celebrate the ascendancy of the natural man over the child of God, the ape over the human. War is worse than Hell because at least those in Hell deserve to be there while those who die in war are by the large innocent civilians slaughtered for no reason. Soldiers, as the enactors of this slaughter of innocents are not heroes. Almost always they too are victims, enslaved by nationalism, violence, and blinded through propaganda and misinformation, subject to training designed to destroy their humanity and turn them into killing machines. Those that survive return having lost parts of their bodies, their minds (PTSD anyone?), and their own souls, tortured by their "service" while those in power grow fat from public servility and war boom "wealth." No, Veteran's Day is not a day of celebration, but one of mourning, sorrowing for the haunted and the slain, those who died on the field and those who are dead at home. War, war never changes. And its constant state is failure, destruction, poverty, and slavery. So while I mourn away this day, I pray that humanity will embrace the better way, out of nationalism into minarchism and anarchism, and from warmongering into nonviolence, not just for the redemption of today but for the salvation of all our tomorrows.

I don't know anyone that considers it a "celebration." Most everyone calls it a day of "Remembrance." For those that gave their lives. For those that have served.

I thought Memorial day was for the dead. Veteran's day was for the living.

Anyway, I get irked this day when friends thank me for my "service." If someone wants to honor vets, end these bullshit wars and take care of those traumatized by them!

We have billions for the MIC and crap for those who actually bled on all sides.

My brother was in the army. If he had been deployed, he would have gone but I wish more (most) men and women in the military would follow the example set by this soldier:

It was my duty to refuse to go to Iraq, says first American army officer facing court martial (http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/worldnews/1534904/It-was-my-duty-to-refuse-to-go-to-Iraq-says-first-American-army-officer-facing-court-martial.html).

Armistice Day is suppose to be a celebration of peace and end of war,this is why its globally celebrated, except the u.s. government changed that after the korean war(the first undeclared war)
