11th Day, 11th Hour
 
On this day we celebrate the veterans of our military and honor their
sacrifices. There are those that decry the use of force, one nation against
another. I am one of them, for I believe that if we resort to force, there
have been failures of leadership. Conversely, I am glad that we have that
military as a last resort against despotism and evil.
The military, your military, whether US, UK, Congolese, or Russian, suffers
deprivation and pain in hopes that the civilian will not have to. So today,
put aside the differences of conservative and liberal, Red and Blue. Say
thanks to a veteran. Remember those who've gone before, making the ultimate
sacrifice and pray for a day when global will creates no more veterans.

Well said, Frank.

Thank you, and thanks to all the other veterans and active military here on
roff, and across the globe.

Are you implyin' that we should exclude all other topics of discussion?

Frank is right of course, except that two wrongs don't make a right, but
three lefts do.

Thanks to ALL the other veterans and active military ? Or just the ones
from the US of A ?

Leave it to the good old USA to turn Armistice Day, a worldwide
celebration of global peace, into something else entirely.

I noticed that Google once again has shunned the veterans. They do other
holidays/rememberances, but refuse to recognize Veterans (Armistice) Day.

Obviously part of the vast left-wing conspiracy.
