They should hijack a plane and fly it into the Tomb of the Unknown Solider, in Terraria.

Well some veterans are disfigured, mentally scarred or did great deeds/accomplishments. Plus veterans put there lives on the line for there countries, sure we might disagree on policy in retrospect. War in Iraq and Vietnam are contenious issues amongst Americans. However the soliders themselves must be respect, otherwise you tarnish the moral fabric of the nation.
Well a small percentage of soliders commit war crimes. However a moral nation takes action to investigate and prosecute soliders who committ war crimes. Say what you will about the US army. The Red Army, Nazie Germany, ISIS and China along with all the more deplorable nations will never do such a thing. Mostly those nations endorse war crimes and genocides.

I couldn't be a fed, not an American. I guess my point dose seem overly conservative, but memorial day is more than just respecting fallen soliders. For one thing we cannot get an opinion from the dead so there surviving loved ones, family members and brothers in arms give us a connection we would lack otherwise.
Honestly, I respect that people served but when "I WAS IN THE MILITARY" is your whole identity any more than a year after you've been discharged you're a cringelord. Yeah, Ted, you did a stint in the Navy and if you love it so much WHY DIDN'T YOU STAY IN?
If they cannot accept transgender people then fuck the veterans. #wecankilltoo

Sadly, for many of these men “I was in the military” is all they’ll ever have and worse yet for most of them there isn’t really a choice. Being in the military can change people. Basic training is in many ways a process of conditioning that if done correctly strips the soldier of their individuality only to replace that with regimen that repeats so much that it becomes reflex. The fact is there was never any intention of these soldier reintegrating into society. How could they when they? The US military wanted violent well oiled killing machines and that’s exactly what they created without ever considering the people these men once were.
In the end it could be said that very few of them actually survived. Perhaps those who died in war were really the lucky ones. They didn’t have to come back and burden their families, they didn’t have to go on living with their own actions as a human being. Some certainly were able to cope and return to normalcy but that return was with no help from the people who put them in that sorry state to begin with. I guess, in a way Memorial Day is the celebration of necessary evils and the people we’re willing to sacrifice in our pursuit of the needs of the many.
I mean that might be true of the grunts and jarheads that saw enemy fire, but only 15 percent of the military is employed in a combat role. The guys that did the laundry or swabbed the toilets like to wave their veteran status around just as much as the actual operators, maybe moreso, which is more what I'm complaining about. I'm not trying to shit on the military, just on the guys the did the bare minimum number of years before getting a discharge and like to act like they're better than everyone else because MUH DD214!
We actually shortchange the hell out of the actual combat veterans and have for a long time.

Well yeah, I should have been more specific. When I’m talking about soldiers I mean people who saw combat. My bad. There are a lot of people who never saw combat that try to “hijack” the holiday and I would argue those people are practicing Stolen Valor.
