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.

I already stated their intentions were honorary and that they should be honored.
that is beside the point of the true reason of war. honoring the soldiers would be seeking truth in life to prove the reasons why they died so we never have to go back there again. if we do not seek truth through their deaths then yes they did die in vain.
but yet us canadians and americans want to sit back and let it be all ok. cause hey we are fighting for things we "believe in".
maybe you are one of those people that when they find out the truth of things goes and ends their life. Not me i always want to be told the truth. If i found out my entire life was a lie, i would have no problem with it. i would change in an instant.
the entire point of believing in something is believing in it for truth. if that supposed "truth" is a complete lie, then what is the point in fighting for it in the first place?
i want to look at truth, not wear a poppy and pretend i am honoring people. you honor people who died by your actions and what you believe in.
