Who would ever presume that you are an advocate of war? it is absolutely right to honor the men and women who died but......the word "hero" , which is often used by many, isn't always the best choice.
Brook you said that they were fighting for your freedom! perhaps I do not know certain facts so please tell me when and where was the freedom of Americans threatened, that they had to attack Vietnam and drop napalm bombs on Vietnamese. What did the Iraqis do? how did they threaten your freedom? The biggest threat to your freedom is inside your own country...Who did 9/11...?
PS WWII is a different matter.....
