Memorial Day

A day of honor.
We Honor those who have died for our country.
Like Those who died in Vietnam, fighting to keep America safe from the threat known as, umm

Or Korea, keeping us safe from the uh, well I'm sure someone was trying to invade our country...

Ok, WWI and WWII. Lets not forget those who protected us from, those that were trying to invade our Country. Umm, hold on here, the Civil War! Yes lets celebrate those who faught to force the confederates to Join back with the Union. Oh I mean to end slavery. Yes that's what was intedned, because thats what is taught in schools throughout the country. Ok wait so The Mexican American War? Yes lets honor those who died in that war, doing what ever it was they were doing during that war.

Shit I really don't know why this holiday exists.... I can't think of a single war faught for Freedom and Liberty. To quote Butler Shafer " It should be self-evident that soldiers - particularly those conscripted into service - didn't even fight for their own freedoms: how could they have fought for mine?"
So what is this holiday all about?

This day, is meant to create a sense of nationalism, pride, a false sense of accomplishment. A day to honor dead men, who, were lulled into believing they were fighting for their country, sent out to other countries, killed inhabitants of those countries, usually for imperialistic ideals, and thrown away when they weren't needed any more!

Yes lets honor those who were tricked, lied to, and propagandized into killing for the state.

Those weak minded individuals, deserve a big old thank you. Thank you for keeping me safe from pretend boogy men! How unfortunate that you died defending "me" aka imperialism a.k.a Israel, The French, The British, and others. oh Boy thank you!
