Thank you, soldiers - Page 5

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!

Do Americans have both Memorial Day and Remembrance Day? Is there any difference in the way you celebrate them?

Thank you soldiers, for plundering, raping, torturing and especially your key function, killing people! Thank you a lot for that and I may say thanks to you aswell by all the people who can't thank you anymore because M4A1 owned them.

I don't mean to suggest anything, but he is from Germany.


You're thinking of the wrong era when referring to wars.

Pretty sure majority of raping took place during Vietnam.

Torturing is world-wide. Every country that has some sort of military or government and captures an opposing individual tortures. So on that one you're gg'ed on.

Plundering is interesting. So I take it we steal with means of force. Well, have you personally been deployed or in a warzone? Most likely not. Don't know why anyone would want to steal something anyways unless its just in their personality.

And not everyone deploys with a M4. I personally deploy with a M9 and M16 unless I am going somewhere north in Afghanistan then I deploy with a M4. And thats pretty standard for the most part.

Just stating the obvious in general from my own personal perspective and I am currently active duty.

But then again, I'm one who was mature enough to sign those papers to risk my life and yet you're chilling at home assuming jobless.

Thanks to everyone else who posted. But honestly we should thank you because you are the ones who give us the support to continue doing what we do for you, family and friends.

Remembrance Day is a Canadian holiday I believe and it hold the same exact purpose as Veterans Day or Armistice Day.

(Sorry for the double post.)

Just thought of a classic metaphor:

>Alderaan achieves World Peace.
>Alderaan sends away all weapons.
>Empire does not like Alderaan.
>Death Star comes to Alderaan.
>Alderaan has no defenses.
>Death Star blows up Alderaan.

Thank you.

Normally I would stay away from a thread like this because of what it turns in to, but it hits a bit close to home. Both my parents were in the military. No matter what people say about soldiers, about what they do or if they are immoral or necessary, the military has been good to my family and every man or woman I have met who has served in the military has been an outstanding person. A soldier is a human being just like us, but they have made the decision to put themselves in harms way, often for people who aren't thankful or may even hate them. So thank you, soldiers. I may not always agree with what our country sends soldiers to do, but I respect the hell out of the soldiers who serve.

They are similar, but Memorial Day is more about remembering the dead/fallen, which is similar to Remembrance Day. We also have Veterans Day, which is more about celebrating still living veterans.

If anyone can empathise with resistance against an overwhelming and unstoppable invasion the Poles can. They earned that right and they paid a heavy price for it.

I won't question his opinion, but is it fair for me to question his motive in posting that in a 'thank you' thread?

'If you don't have something nice to say, don't say anything at all'. There are plenty of tools for him to get his opinion out on this website alone without trying to troll/derail a thread.

It is the soldier who salutes the flag,
Who serves beneath the flag,
And whose coffin is draped by the flag,
Who allows the protester to burn the flag.

He was saying something nice, it's just the soldiers he was saying he respected weren't the ones you had in mind. Just because they're not fighting for your country doesn't mean they're not brave men and women defending their homes. If you're really defending the soldiers and not the politics then defend all of them, on both sides.

I really wish the OP wouldn't make this thread about his troops and their allies.

People who make a living killing people deserve no memorial day but I' thank the soldiers, of all sides, for doing what they do. Nations will always fight nations and I'm glad there are plenty of morons who can go to war and die in place of the teachers, scientists and in place of those who care for elderly and the sick.

I'd say that they are not soldiers, at least not by the common definition of the word. But I digress, as the mod message at the top says, this is not a thread for debating/criticizing, so I won't do it in here. I apologize. If you'd like to discuss it further please feel free to PM me.

Back on topic, thanks again soldiers.

as for "removing oppresors" if France and UK would keep their alliance commitments in first months of the war maby there would be no oppresion and also 20 years of communism is not what i would call a succesfull removal

I advise you to look into the horrors commited by scientists and medics in, for example, world war 2.
Soldiers follow orders, may it be for attacking or defending, and those worth remembering are those who gave their life defending countries, allies, elderlies, sick... everyone.
Their life. Defending.

Both armies and scientists/medics or even teachers (propaganda etc) have a light and a dark side. Stop being so simplistic.

I'm not saying that any one side is better or good, nor have I ever. I think you are very clearly just trying to cause trouble, but if I'm wrong and that is your actual opinion, I apologize. If you want to discuss what I actually think about either side of that conflict, feel free to PM me, but I won't do it in this thread.
