This is a thank you thread, not a debate thread or a thread to criticise soldiers or the regimes they fight for. If you do not heed this warning retribution will be swift and without mercy! | ||

Edit: The guy below me sums it up quite well. Edit2: What I really hate about the military structure (mandatory service in austria) is, that the individual is trained to follow orders without questioning. | ||

Certain countries (US, Israel)need to stop starting wars by themselves, or lose one lose a war soon so they learn the same lesson. Japan is another good example. Japan tried to copy western style imperialism. They made an empire and in the end lost in a war against the US. Now there is a deep sense of pacifism in Japan as well as Germany. One million innocent people died because of the Iraq war. That was an illegal war started by the US. The war was justified by what we knew were lies before the war even started. But soldiers who fight on the wrong side can be just as brave as those who fight on the right side. So if you are going to call some soldiers heroes, then they are all heroes. And don't forget that in every war every army will commit atrocities. This is the nature of war. Good people will do terrible things when politicians decide soldiers need to go to war. | ||

The honor we're giving them is one of remembering what they did for us, what they chose to do and die for. Consider World War II where they saved many generations of Jews and other ethnic groups. | ||

I dont really get the fuzz about honouring soldiers, someone care to explain how you can make a better world with violence? Don't derail a topic meant to honor those who potentially may have went through hell. Of course there is death and destruction, and countless atrocities, but it is the fact that they are people. For whatever reason, some serve out of honor, some economic reasons, family tradition etc. For those who never experienced war, how easily your words flow. | ||

The only good thing war has ever done is influence games. I'm with you on not understanding why to honour soldiers, people just follow tradition and can't think for themselves I guess. | ||

Thanks for being sheep and getting lead by retarded shepherds. Personally I dont understand why so many people are praising/thanking these murders... If i were to praise Osama it would be basically the same thing... Basically thank you for all the bad that you have brought to our planet. Hitler would never have had an army if so many dumbfucks didnt follow him. User was temp banned for this post. | ||

Thats the thing, what is so special about soldiers, there is people fighting and sometimes kill people AND feel they honor something, have economic reasons, family traditions etc. but these people we dont honor. We execute/put them in prisons instead | ||
