I’m not angry with you, but don’t come prattling at me about troops occupying a modern Western nation killing my fellow citizens and allies, as if they’re all part of our one big happy family. No they weren’t. Dead soldiers are not all on the same side. If they were, they wouldn’t be dead.

You don’t honor the aggressor troops, by lumping them in with the good men sent in to stop them, who sacrificed their lives.

Our own citizens and our own allies that died on Normandy beach, or at any other location deserve better than to be lumped in with those who died in the effort to kill them.

I may be the only guy that thinks along these lines, but that’s how I see it.

The twitter brained so called artists who are portraying the dead are not honoring anyone. They are politicizing dead soldiers in their vain effort to condemn war. One dead soldier is the same as another for them. There is no attempt with this grisly portrayal to acknowledge heroism, only to dissuade others from engaging in heroic histrionics.

I stand with you. Our fallen earned far better treatment.
