you need to be able to separate issues and really understand that human greed and interests are the backing of every decision ever made.
they indeed were fighting for money and greed and nothing else. that is why it is so sad.
i will honor those whos fought bravery but i will not honor the reasons. if people want to throw around "my grandpa did this or that" both my grandpas were in the WW2. and i personally am against war and the reasons. and so were they.
Americans are built up on this thing called "freedom". but your freedom is purely facade.
The country with power always teaches its citizens that the leadership is the best and most suited. that is pure politics.
so please tell me if they didnt fight for money and greed then what did they fight for?
america fights wars that benefit them. The american army is purely a proxy army and is 100% for hire by the highest bidders.
"The difference between fighting for your country and fighting for your countries best interests is merely semantics"
If you are lied to about what your countries best interest are then no you are not really fighting for the best interest.

Is it the government and politicians that fight these wars? Of course not, so ask any soldier why they fight and I promise you you wont find one that says it is for the greed of their government, they fight because they believe in what they are doing. Even if they change their minds in the aftermath if they truly believed they were killing to make their government rich they would have abandoned their post in a heart beat...
Nobody is condoning war here, I don't like it either, but stating that soldiers are only fighting for money and greed IS in fact an act of dishonouring them, whether you think it does or not, especially on a day like today.
