I don't really understand this entire Veteran's Day thing. IN all civilised countries you have Armistice Day or Remembrance Day which honors the fallen and expresses gratitude that we live in peace. Enter Veteran's Day! An armed forces farce. Remembrance day was holy, why did you change it veteran's day?

There already was an armistice day, it's called Memorial Day.

>>8194669 >>8194690 Apologies. Regarding modern veterans v. WWI/WWII veterans, there's the old idea that hard times make hard people. That is to say, in the previous generations millions saw such hell in was is deemed, I think, operationally unbearable for today's military, conditions, gear, risks and losses. As such, no easy way to say it, but a life of plenty (compared to say growing up in the 1930s just about anywhere) leads to these lads being traumatized more easily, methinks.

>>8194695 It's not the same thing. Your federal holiday is veteran's and Armistice is celebrated in New Zealand, France, Belgium and Serbia. Back in the early 20th you had armistice day as a holiday. Memorial day is not the same.

>>8194778 Memorial day celebrates all the fallen soldiers in past wars. The core of mu critique is that none of those days conveys sadness. It's just a farce of national pride.

>>8194669 >Because the flag implicates that I'm ethnically Swedish. Your text in the OP actually reduced the chance of you being an ethnic Swede immediately, you are clearly a filthy immigrant or second generation immigrant with no notion of national pride since you and/or your parents abandoned your own. Or you are a leftist hipster that has swallowed the whole multicultural experiment whole and thinks all of the world will become a magical unicorn land if only Sweden imports more Somalians, everybody hugs each other more, and you get your cafe latte on time. Yes i am slightly aggravated so no need to post a "lulzy" umad? pic, fuck you for pissing on veterans all over the world including our own.

>>8195367 I was obviously being facticious, but WWI kind of loses its meaning when WWII happened and also America was only in the war for a year and more people died in the Civil War than in every other war combined. So, yes, Memorial Day should take precedence. In practice nobody knows what the fuck to do and Memorial Day has turned into a mattress clearing house holiday while Veteran's Day is all about "MUH FREEDOMS".

All wars are stupid. Going to war to conquer other countries is stupid and going to war to "bring democracy" is also stupid. People that willingly go to war are halfwits that deserve no respect. What sane individual would volunteer to kill brown children and rape brown women? People that willingly go to war are an insult to every single person that has ever been forced to join a military against their will.
