Well said, tdw. A serious statement by a serious man.
Unfortunately, in this country, we have people who oppose all war, and the current one in particular, which is, of course their right, but have taken their opposition to a political level in which sacrifice and the military man in general are belittled. That prior patriots blood was shed for these fool's freedom is tragic. The end result of their ideology is the gutting of military spending. Without military spending how can we ensure that we have a competent, well trained military led by officers more capable than those at Gallipoli?
It is indeed fitting and right that we should honor their sacrifice for we stand upon their shoulders.
