The author could not be more wrong.
Memorial Day is not a day to remember the politicians who started wars. It’s meant to remember the average Joe (and Jane) who did their duty, and made the ultimate sacrifice.
However, this article does not surprise me. Libertarians have some good ideas. But often they’re in a contest with Socialists to see who can say the craziest things.
They never served. They never sacrificed. They never bled. They never grieved.
They should sit tf down and stfu.
Inconsequential jackasses
Doesn't surprise me either. One of my big objections to Ayn Rand was her disdain for the notions of altruism and selflessness. Memorial Day is dedicated to those who performed supreme acts of altruism.
Of course some Rand Objectivist will be along shortly to explain that I'm wrong either because I don't understand what altruism rally means, or that altruism had nothing to do with why soldiers sacrificed their lives.
