Ever heard the expression: "The only thing necessary for the triumph of evil is for good men to do nothing." ? If you understand the difference between good and evil, then to die for good is a great sacrifice.
"then to die for good is a great sacrifice"...It is the ULTIMATE sacrifice for ANY soldier that dies for his Country. While the phrase "All that is required for evil to triumph is that good men do nothing" goes without saying as Andre notes.
I would speculate that most of the men who served, on either side, had no "political agenda" in their decision to serve. Their Country called and they went. Whether voluntarily or by force. Many gave the ultimate sacrifice and for that they should be recognized!
If certain people think it is to "in their face" to demonstrate this, then go serve in battle, stand among those buried in your Country's National Cemetries, loose men/women, see death on your doorstep, then replay your comments. I saw it and lived it for 2 years! There was no political decision thought about when I was called up to serve.
I will listen then to you then.
Tony my brother, the very 1st thought I had was the movie you speak of. Sorry(Fred also) I got distracted by the comments, rather "a" comment, but I felt I had to say something because I have "been there and done that". And I have been attacked by 2 people on this forum for having been a soldier. And politics DID have an impact on the outcome of the "war" I fought in. Both sides feel the pain. It is not a 1 way street in war.
Great moving photo Brother! Yours also Fred!
