If Christianity were based upon the teachings of Jesus while He walked the Earth, you'd have a point there. But it isn't and you don't.
Originally quoted by KellyJayMemorial Day in the U.S. is a good day for Americans to spare a thought for the millions of innocent victims of their military's overseas actions in, say, the decades since WW2. The same could be said for the victims of proxy military forces trained and supplied by the U.S.
"You know the value of life when you’d give the entire world for a few moments
of time to spend with them again. A life with meaning is one filled with love for
others; precious are the lives whose very presence or the mere thought of

Originally posted by FMFThe morality of whether a war is justified or not is beyond the scope of this thread. If you want to engage in the politics of war, perhaps you should start another thread, that intent was not meant with this one.
Wasn't RJHinds involved in some way, if I am not mistaken, in what America did to the people of Vietnam and Laos and Cambodia? Is your "thank you" for him too?
Originally posted by yoctobyteOh indeed I think it was very much your intent to engage in some "politics of war" ~ whether just clumsily, I don't know ~ when you sought, on an international web site, to exclude commemoration of the fate of the non-American victims of U.S. military action from this discussion. A political act down to its very core - some would say rather provocative, too.

Surely other countries have similar times of the year in which that nation's fallen soldiers are remembered.

Originally posted by KellyJayPresumably this is a reference to me and yet you yourself do not have the integrity to address the point that I am making.
It will not matter what the intent of any thread is, with some they will always take it to the
