Anyone who thinks that we should be ashamed of our war dead doesn't have a CLUE as to what they did to ensure our freedom.
Anyone who thinks we should be proud doesn't have a CLUE as to why we were in those conflicts in the first place. Even WWII, which we should have probably been in, we deliberately delayed our entry so that our "allies" would get their asses pounded so that we could come out ahead economically. Proof? We were selling war materials including Alcoa aluminum and of course fuel to the Third Reich. We knew it was going on, and we let it continue and then seized the assets. But that didn't stop vital war supplies getting to the enemy.
I agree that war should be vilified
Obviously not.
