The fact is, wars are started by politicians/religious leaders and fought by soldiers, whose duty it is to follow orders,whether they personally agree or not. These are brave men and women who put their lives on the line to do a job.
Marty justifiably feels pride in his son and the mementos his son has sent him. The reasons for the war don't come into that.
If people want to express their anti-war views, then start a separate thread.

Nope. I said I understand the war, I don't agree with war trophies. I'm not anti-war but I am anti-glorifying war. War is politics is war as Clausewitz said and I understand that. Simple. There's a difference. And absolutely at times I should learn to keep my opinions to myself and I am trying to get better at this. Anyway, to the benfit of all, I'm out.
